Be sure to zoom out and look at the country as a whole.

Its almost as if this graph has a lot of red (bad) in one concentrated area. I'm not a geography expert so I will have to withold judgement. Perhaps goons can help identify this troubling region!

Also it looks like...yes...is it true....yeah, all the blue (good) is concentrated around a particular state in the middle. SO STRANGE.

Post your stats ITT to learn about economic mobility! Unless its in that red region, that would be bad and embarassing.

I'm surprised goons aren't taking this golden opportunity to learn about social mobility. Guess Caramel Machiattos are more important, smdh.

I don't understand what this graph is tracking.

It says my place is bad for social mobility, but if I'm not poor that's a good thing for me right? Or at least a non-issue?

It does. Be sure to zoom out.

It tracks mobility as far as how much money it'd take for the children in a poor area to come out ahead in the future and based on that amount, assigns a value.

I don't think its really the best metric, but can be a good macro look at what kinds of opportunities are in an area, and what kinds of patterns exist in regions.
