Standard deviation (SD) is a measure of how much data varies from the average (mean).
The standard deviation of each dataset was calculated on the raw population count,
and this standard deviation was used to determine the fill-color of each state.
In other words, each state's shade represents how far that state's average is from the
national average (NA).
Some limitations of the represented data include:
This data may not reflect recent changes, as they were taken from the results of surveys from 2018-2019.
Survey responses may not accurately reflect actual conditions because respondents voluntarily provide
responses that may not be entirely truthful/accurate.
Population size varies widely from state to state, which will skew the national average.
