Data is fugly. Should be order by the per capita number , unless the intent was to mislead

Not necessarily.

This way shows where the biggest impact can be made. If you’re deciding where to spend money to address the issue, your money is better spent in the top four no matter what the per capita numbers are.

Both numbers are valuable, but the visualization is bad. Per capita is very nearly not visualized at all.
