America: where tawny is blue and pale, pale yellow is deep, deep red

"Human Development Index" map from The Human Development Project

This eye opening interactive map measures levels of education, health, and income throughout the United States.  It also includes demographic information and details about political representation for each state.

The fifteen most developed states (including the District of Columbia) are all deeply 'Blue' states, with the exception of Virginia (#12), which is marginally more blue than red.
