    Why? The red and orange are close in color, otherwise it shows if it is green in color, more women commit suicide than men, then the ratio goes up by color

      If it is green then they have the same average right? 1:1. But in this graph it would be difficult to show when more women committed suicide, which might nowhere be the case.

      Or you’d get 0.5 with a color match, for example.

            The numbers, right there on the bar, and the text at the top of the image.

            “male to female suicide ratio” and then the numbers 1-10, it even explains that it’s (men’s suicides / women’s suicides) so anyone who doesn’t know what a ratio is can enjoy as well

        • 1: same number of men and women
        • 2: twice as many men, as women
        • 3: three times as many… Etc
        • x: x times as many men

        Does this help?

            The title explains it… If it isn’t clear by that, it explains what that means in the text below. That my explanation was necessary is not really the fault of the infographic
