Share of taxes from occupation and business licences
The percentage from job and business licences not listed anywhere else: the fees a state or city charges for permission to do business. It is a catch-all by design, so it shows how much a state licenses more than it measures any one tax.

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.

Highest and lowest
Of 51 states reporting it. These are the two ends of a national ranking. For most measures, that ranking mostly sorts places by income and how urban they are. That is why the place pages compare each place with similar places instead.
