It's the same for soccer. (Sizes not shapes.)

True. I made a city one in response to a similar comment https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/zvt54h/oc_us_city_housing_price_changes_since_1991/

The data only goes back to 1991 though.

Yes, the scale makes no sense haha. Arizona was 1065%.

That does look better - thanks.

You must work at the FAO. If you look at section VI of their methodology, they attempt to adjust for tourism: https://fenixservices.fao.org/faostat/static/documents/FBS/New%20FBS%20methodology.pdf

38th place at 2.1%

That would have been smart. Here it is if you are interested:

Romania 3.38%

Namibia 3.45%

Bulgaria 3.46%

Germany 3.47%

Poland 3.48%

Croatia 3.54%

Austria 3.73%

Gabon 3.75%

Ireland 4.33%

Czech Republic 5.49%

I had no idea but your comment prompted me to find that article.

I couldn't find much about Gabon, but here is an article if you are interested: http://enoromi.com/index.php/enquetes/societe-des-brasseries-du-gabon-entreprise-citoyen-et-leader-de-la-production-de-boissons-au-gabon

I am not American if that makes you feel better.

True, but the metro data only goes back to 1991: https://www.fhfa.gov/DataTools/Downloads/Pages/House-Price-Index-Datasets.aspx#qat

Very true - I thought about doing that, but there were too many other factors to consider (property taxes and insurance costs for example).

That would be tough because I don't think there is a good national property tax data set.

I was surprised too. They also publish data for the 50 biggest metropolitan areas (starting in 1991) and Austin has the biggest price increase since then. Houston and Dallas are near the middle though.

Graphic design is not my strong suit unfortunately. Do you have suggestions on different design options?

I think it's mostly geography rather than political affiliation. Red states like Utah, Arizona, Montana and Florida are above average. The South and Midwest are below average. Overall, Blue States are higher but I think it's driven by geography.

No, they are just colours from the flags of the countries.

Originally, I was going to fill in each bar with a picture of a beer from the country but I couldn't figure out a way to make it look good. Then I was going to do flags, but I had the same problem. So I settled on a colour from the flag.

The whole point is to show the nominal price increase. The original data set had the 50 states and Washington DC.

I thought it was more to do with recreational homes (similar to what I assume is happening in Montana) but I don't know the area well.

Somehow I think more food is wasted than beer haha

The median state is Connecticut at 814%. The simple average is 918%. I am not sure what the weighted average is, but I guess it's over 1000% because of California and New York.

Yes, you are right haha. I should have started at 0% and gone up by 400% or 500%.
