I feel like the graph along with the documentation hit the nail right on the head. It does a very good job of showcasing your point and exposing a problem. I would've liked to see the visuals a bit more 'beautiful' though, maybe through the use of an online tool like amcharts.com?

Interesting chart! I would have loved to see some labels on the outlying states just for points of reference -- it seemed a little weird how all the states were jumbled together (and I don't think that it would have taken away from the overall effect). While the effect itself is very apparent, I didn't quite understand your explanation (and it might just be because I haven't taken a statistics class); how does per-capita reporting skew higher as the population taken into consideration gets smaller? I would assume that it would vary more, but not always get higher...
