Interesting data. It would be good to normalize the axes by population size instead of coloring the dots.

Currently we see a positive correlation between the two variables that is confounded by population size. It is hard to deconfound it visually using the color.

Also a clarification of the time frame. Is it ever? Last year?

Interesting. What is your source of data? Also, are the specific cities in each state cross-referenced, or just the state? Thank you in advance.
