Millionaire tax returns
Tax returns filed from the state with adjusted gross income of $1 million or more. Residents, not movers: the count rises when millionaires move in, and also when residents have a good year in the stock market. There are no figures for 2002-2009, when the IRS state tables stopped at $200,000.

Population makeup
How this measure varies with the racial and ethnic makeup of states. Every group is shown, whatever its rank. These are links across states: they describe places, not people. They say nothing about any person’s risk or behaviour based on their race. States with a larger share of one group also differ in much else, such as income, segregation, region and history. The adjusted figure only accounts for density, income and education.
