color range seems poorly fitting data edit

The range colors represent has recently shifted to be much less useful. Currently two colors only apply to one state each, one only applies to one territory, the two between base and 2nd in country only pick up around 5% each. While it does make sense to shift the ranges over time, it seems it would be better to fit those ranges to the data (like quartiles or standard deviations from the mean) than making them nice round numbers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.162.230.27 (talk) 06:48, 7 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
