So you would be ok if row order of columns were randomized?


I would find it better if the proportion white population were placed horizontally or elsewhere entirely.

The other comment noted those metrics are "objective" and only "High"/"Low", but in all cases the least desirable situation (i.e. "bad") is the lowest. I read charts and benchmarks all the time and a usual cognitive shortcut you look for is good/bad (e.g. you see a decreasing graph -- if it's latency that is "low"=="good"; if it were profits it's "low"=="bad"), I'd be surprised if people didn't make similar quick assessments. Note that high white rate is also up, which is usually good too (profits, growth, etc.).

I guess no representation is perfect, but I think at least ethnicity could/should be separated here.
