For cultural stats like this Oregon and Washington should be split vertically instead of horizontally, would give a much more accurate indication of the region

Well aware. There are towns out there that gave me severe bad vibes. I was rolling through Chemult one time while camping. No place has ever given me such an urgent desire to quickly leave.
