I chose the all types of cancer, white males; age-adjusted rate by county, 1950-1959.

The image depicts exactly what the title states. My problem with the image is that: a) there is no key, so I don’t have a clear understanding of the difference between the counties where there is little/no shade and counties with a dark shade. b) I wish there would be some kind of statistical information. For example, top 10 cancers or an age rage that is affected most.

I can’t think of a time where I saw a design and cared more about the look than the information portrayed. I am sure it has happened, but just can’t think of a time.
