20 indicators. Change is a percent change for totals and levels, and a difference in points or units for rates and shares. "Among counties" ranks Vigo County against every US county with a figure for the same year (1 is the highest value, which is not always the best). In the strip each tick is one of them, the dot is Vigo County and the taller gray tick is the United States as a whole, where there is a national figure. A year is shown only once it is complete. Each indicator's page ranks every state.
