Area Deprivation Index by State, 2013

I grouped the 2013 United States Area Deprivation Index (https://www.neighborhoodatlas.medicine.wisc.edu) by deciles and plotted the distribution by decile by state. Each state can be seen to have its own socioeconomic profile, ranging from balanced (Illinois) to skewed toward high deprivation (Mississippi), low deprivation (Massachusetts), or moderate levels (Idaho). These graphs are more informative than a single summary measure. They also served as an exercise in R programming - the code used to generate these graphs is included here.
