Component map
What is on the component map?
The panel lists the components that exist for one state. Shading, if you turn it on, is one series at a time. This map does not print the opening rank.
The opening map is the entry. This is the component map. It does not print the map rank.
Hover a state, or tab to it, or use the jump list.
50 states: 2024 crime rates and z-score (z), the safety reading aid, National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2024 means and z, the 2023 imprisonment control, and the property residual.
50 states, not shaded: the 2024 jobs net-rate rank (1 = healthiest). The District of Columbia (DC) is out of the z and off this map. Portland is not a row. Short labels are in the glossary on the walk plate.
No shading. The fill is neutral so the map is not a grade. Color, when selected, follows the sign of a z (blue negative, rust positive) or, for imprisonment, a single slate scale. Color stops at ±2 for a z so the drawing has a bound. The number in the panel is not winsorized.
Hover a state
The panel fills with that state's components. It does not report a single grade.
Outlines are geometry only (us-states.geojson, a map-shape file). They are not a data series. Component table: state_components.csv. Crime vintage: CDE refresh 15 September 2026. NAEP: 2024 assessment, retrieved 2026-09-27. Prison: BJS yearend 2023.
