Garbage graph, they should at least make the pink bar the same height, so it's comparable.

How would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?

The point of the graph is to compare the income/house price ratio.

Yeah and for comparing the difference in *ratio*, the pink bars need to be equal height, otherwise I have to stretch the first two bars in my head so I can compare.

The graph is garbage because the y axis shouldn't use absolute values (dollars) but relative percentages ("% of household income").

No they don't need to be equal height to be able to compare them. You compare them visually. You can immediately see that the second red bar is proportionally much bigger.

With the absolute values you can calculate the relative percentages too:

23/83 = .27

74/468 = .15

I think both sides are sorta correct because I do think that visually looking at this graph makes the difference look more extreme than the .27 vs .15

You can almost do that by adjusting for inflation, the 1985 income is $64,242.67 in 2022 dollars, while the red bar moves up to $226,290.86, a bit less than half the red bar on the right.
