These are neat charts overall, but less useful for studying the details because it’s hard to tell which state is which, because only half the states are labeled and they don’t line up with the corresponding rows. The first row in each chart is probably Alabama.
For what it's worth, you can mouse over the individual boxes & it will pop up the state & year it represents. Definitely isn't the best way to display the data, but it is all technically labeled....

Sloppy labels generally make me wonder if that sloppiness extends to the data too. :/
I was using a tablet at the time so I didn't see the popups. Yeah, the visualization looks somewhat cursed. Mississippi is out of order too. It was probably sorted in some other way and then...

Yeah, the visualization looks somewhat cursed. Mississippi is out of order too. It was probably sorted in some other way and then edited.
It was more impressive at first glance, before studying it.
