It's from bloomberg, they have brain worms. The coloring is designed to make it look like 30% is bad but 20% is somehow completely fine and nothing to be concerned about

It's a divergent color scheme, and it looks wrong because it's usually used to illustrate how how data diverges from a midpoint (ex: voting patterns). They should have used a sequential scheme of a single color since it's numerical data - dark hue for high values and light hue for low values. It's maps 101 and this is dumb. Edit: also lol @ that data range.
Yeah but the Whole Foods CEO on Joe Rogan said don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. So. Guess people gotta be homeless because the government isn't allowed to be strong enough to respond. Elon Musk will fix this though. * flips desk *
they will still be coming up with bullshit lies rather than giving up any material privilege, even as the torch-wielding mobs beat down their door
Under communism, everyone will live in the same buildings. Our capitalist western nation simply won't stand for that so you don't get a place to live at all. FREEDOM!
Whatever it is, the equivalent chart for commercial loans or payments is even worse. I know someone who owns/runs a restaurant. He has high rent for the space, and has been able to not pay it during the pandemic, since restaurants were ordered closed, and at different points allowed to partially reopen. It's just a non-viable business when you run the numbers with the full rent payments. So if he is someday allowed to fully re-open but has all this back rent to pay, he will just have to shut it down and file it bankrupt. There are a ton of small businesses in that situation, or where they have loan payments. We might be in for a housing market crash, but I think its more likely we have a commercial loan crash or something like that.
How the fuck is Alabama the only one that low down here
👀 Maryland
anyone know why it's significantly worse of than other similar states?
It looks like they used data from here: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/household-pulse-survey.html
This tool allows you to look at metro areas: https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/hhp/#/
somebody should really re-do this chart without the bullshit colorscale designed to minimize the problem
It actually looks like the DC area is relatively stable, which is odd because it has a very high cost of living compared to the rest of the state. I really want to see the info by county though or at least see what Baltimore's says. Cost of living is lower here but employment is less steady.
I looked this morning and I couldn't reproduce the infographic in the OP. need to mess with it more to see for sure. for one thing, Maryland seems to be more in line with other blue states like NY and IL, as expected.
