College and High School Graduation
People in Blue states are more likely to have a high school or college degree than Red states. Also, from available census data, and information given at the Missouri ACT
national conference, you can get data of what percentage of people in a state
are enrolled in college, and what percentage are enrolled in High School. You
can plot them against each other and see how states rank in terms of who has
the highest percentages of both. And since we know the election data, we can
color code that too.
Here it is in a remarkable graph:
