County comparisons

Pick any two metrics, a year, and optionally a focal county. Each dot is a county, sized by total postings. Hover for county name and values; click to open that county on the County profiles page. Highlight a focal county to see where it sits in the cloud, then toggle "Show similar counties" to surface its k nearest peers in this 2D space — useful both for bivariate analysis and for finding economic peers across the volume, composition, diversity, network, and complexity families.
