That’s just lazy lying with a map. They’re just literally mapping population. If you controlled for population the signal disappears utterly.

Look familiar?

Do you have a link to an alternative site with information about bedbug density made since 2018 or so?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that in lieu of additional information this is what I have to work with, so I will need a better source of data before I change my mind.

Just read the legend. It’s raw numbers, not per capita. It’s not even worth taking seriously.

It’s not showing rates at all, just raw case numbers.

NY has a lot. Alaska and Wyoming have almost none. Things happen where people live. News at 11.

That site is also obvious affiliate spam SEO bait.
