This image was initially interesting to me because upon first glance, it seems that the three different maps are very similar. Most of the same regions are highlighted in each, making them seem very visually similar, but at the bottom of the picture, the correlation is stated at only 42%, which, as I have learned in AP Statistics, is a fairly low correlation. So, while many of the images on Information is Beautiful's website do seek to get rid of data misinterpretation by displaying information visually, this image actually does the opposite, and only the numbers truly prove the relating statistics.Source: InformationisBeautiful.net
