Read this layer like a lead, not a leaderboard.
  • •Flip between metric modes to see which counties stay bright across unrelated burdens versus which only flare in one layer.
  • •Use overlays to isolate counties where the highlighted pattern may explain why a metric spikes or refuses to move.
  • •Check the top list for repeat names, then trace whether they cluster geographically or break the regional pattern.
