It's subtle in its awfulness, but sometimes those are the most irritating design choices of all

One takeaway is around 7% of people cannot or will not own a vehicle no matter what. That's kinda interesting.

Mr. Fix It posted:what's awful/funny about this chart? For me, the part of the design that's awful is that the bar segments are sorted so that the ones representing higher car ownership are on the bottom rather than the top. So it reads like the numbers go down as you read upward. Put another way, it's like saying that the folks with 3 cars are in a lower percentile of car ownership rather than a higher percentile. I fully admit this might just be an idiosyncrasy of mine and not a genuine design flaw.

They are in a lower percentile of car ownership. In the rightmost segment, ~20% own 3 or more cars, ~65% own 2, and 90% own just one.

I just see them as bars with a transparency effect. 1st car, 2nd cat, 3rd car etc.

I don't know how to represent it, but I feel like if you wanted to really do it right, you'd double the size of 2 cars and triple the 3 cars, so that you can see how many cars are actually owned per bucket.

It's awful because of all the people owning cars. Also household is a terrible unit, it could be one rich rear end in a top hat with 3 cars or a family with 17 year old triplets and 2 parents.

1 car weighs more than 0 so that’s why it’s below. Same goes for 2 and 3. Beyond that, who knows?

The stacking is the only reasonable presentation. People with three cars also have one car, so they should be in the 1-car-column as well. This way makes it easy to read out "what percentage of households has at least x cars".

yeah I see it as '%age of households in the decile that own 1 car, that own 2 cars, that own 3 cars' and each item is a subset of the one previous. People in the decile who own three cars also necessarily own 1 and 2 cars and exist in the decile. The chart handily shows that nobody or almost nobody in the bottom 3 deciles have more than 2 cars.

Late to the public transportation chat but I think Washington simply does not like public transportation. There have been several efforts to get a light rail connection across the Columbia river from Portland to Vancouver but they always vote against it, the political ads always call light rail a "crime train" and it always works to get people against it.

The light rail is expanding quite a bit in the Seattle area, plus plenty of other public transportation options and a higher rate of public transit ridership than Portland. Seattle is just late to building out it's rail network. If you mention Vancouver to someone around here they think of the Canadian one, not the Portland suburb.

 X-axis: number of weeks of unemployment left Y-axis: conditional probability of employmentship Graph in left was published in the local news and all the usual suspects immediately suggested shortening the unemployment benefit duration. "Let's move the peak earlier, no money for vacationeers!" Graph on the right was from the cited publication. Not at all suspicious selection of axes in the first one .. Sure, there is a "peak", but it is minor compared to noise and almost completely explained by social programs hiring people just finishing their benefits..
