Indiana vs Oregon
Twenty measures that tend to decide a move, side by side. Every figure is the same one the map shows, from the same source.
Indiana comes out ahead on 11 of them and Oregon on 4, but that tally is not a recommendation: it weighs a difference in class size the same as a difference in house price. Read the rows that matter to you.
