I keep seeing all these charts in this sub and clearly lots of people haven’t studied how to present information properly. You can’t just put data out there with no axis or relative measurement and just slap numbers on it that’s just not good practice. If your graph can be misconstrued easily it’s a bad graph.

In order to identify the areas that care the most, WalletHub compared the 100 largest cities across 38 key indicators of a compassionate spirit. Our data set ranges from the share of sheltered homeless people to volunteering hours per capita to the share of income donated to charity.
