This is a pretty interesting map/graph. I also like that they linked to the data in table form.

Not really surprised at the areas that are darkest, but still feel worried that lots of areas near 20%. Specifically the levels of non-Hispanic Black hesitancy in the South is really rough.

Hopefully over time this improves especially as private enterprises put some pressure on getting vaccinated

The interesting thing that jumped out at me was the blurring of state borders between southern Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky.

Why does the data change so much on the boundaries of states? I would expect the data to be locally correlated, and there wouldn't be discrepancies between neighboring rural counties that are in different states.

I think some states have pretty distinct cultures and politics. But if you look ad Kentucky and West Virginia, you'll have trouble finding the border.

There are also effects here around metro areas.

Good question. It's less pronounced than Wyoming, but I wonder why Alabama looks so different from its neighbors.

My thought exactly. If you took out the borders, many states would still be visible. I would expect the boundary between Tennessee and Kentucky, for example, to be more-or-less invisible, as between Texas and Arkansas. But even Oklahoma is distinguishable from northern Texas, despite basically no cultural or political difference across the Red River.
