About SVGZ Graphic: Classifying Similiar States for Income Distribution ....

I've been playing with different ways to use K-Means classification to find related classes of states when it comes to income distribution. I tried dividing up the states into four groups, which came up some interesting income distributions, as shown below.

Class Less than $10,000 $10,000 to $14,999 $15,000 to $19,999 $20,000 to $24,999 $25,000 to $29,999 $30,000 to $34,999 $35,000 to $39,999 $40,000 to $44,999
Low – 1 8 5.5 5.5 5.7 5.3 5.2 4.7 4.7
Higher – 2 5.5 3.7 3.3 3.3 3.2 3.4 3.1 3.2
High – 3 4.6 3.3 3.2 3.5 3.5 3.8 3.6 3.8
Moderate – 4 5.6 4.2 4.3 4.6 4.6 4.8 4.4 4.6
