Neal Levene at Simple Complexity take a liking to this “Foreclosure and Bankruptcy in America” infographic (Shown right), and finds that while it’s effective, there is room for improvement.
While I think the original infographic is quite good, I believe the map with numbers provides less insight than either a table or bar graph, however, if you add in some graphical element that allows you to see patterns within the geography, the map can be far superior than the table or bar graphs.
