Are the border and non-border observations reversed?

For both border and non-border countries, we can make a few observations:

  • Non-border counties have a higher median percentage of cesarean deliveries than border counties, as indicated by the median line within the box.
  • The interquartile range for non-border counties is larger than for border counties, suggesting more variability in cesarean delivery rates in non-border counties.
  • There are outliers on both the high and low ends of the data for non-border counties but very few for border counties. This indicates that some non-border countries have unusually high or low cesarean rates.

By state, we can observe that:

  • Texas (yellow dots) has many counties with higher cesarean rates in non-border areas, as seen by the cluster of yellow dots in the upper part of the non-border section.
  • California (orange dots) also shows a higher variability in cesarean rates in non-border counties, but the rates are spread across the range.
  • Arizona and New Mexico have fewer counties and less variability in cesarean rates compared to Texas and California.
