Really not a fair comparison - data clearly needs to be normalized per capita. NY had ~58x the population of NV in 1960.

You're absolutely right. Just fixed it.

Did you though? Looks like the legend is still using absolute numbers.

Naw op definitely changed, now it's clearly fatalities per 1000 residents. Thanks OP.
