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
