This is a Line Plot with Error Bars and a confidence band, used to compare a state’s average price over time (blue line) to national trends (gray dashed line with shaded area). The vertical error bars represent uncertainty or variation within the state data each year. This visualization clearly highlights both temporal trends and relative performance against a national benchmark.
This type of plot is ideal for comparing regional trends against broader national or international patterns — commonly used in real estate, economic analysis, policy research, and market studies.
This chart shows a trend in price over time while also including a comparison to a price difference of a greater whole.
