Dangerous Liasons

I stole these pictures from TIME magazine. This is a map comparing the conditions of bridges between states. Anyone see anything wrong with this map?

I do. Most states have a beige, sandy color, which means not very dangerous. But not my state- the only glaring red spot on the map.



Of the fifty states in the Union, I apparently live in the state with the second highest percentage of dangerous bridges. In fact, more than half of our bridges are dangerous. The next closest state is almost 20% less dangerous. New York looks like a safe little bubble compared to us.
