The last regular issue of “The Good & the Bad” dates back to [11\/2006], so it is more than time to post.<\/p>\n

I found this flowchart<\/a> on Kaiser’s junkchart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe graph was originally posted on the Internet Monk<\/a>‘s blog – the data comes from a study, which can be found here<\/a>. There was no data for this migration matrix posted in either of the blogs, so I reverse engineered the graphics (pixel by pixel) and created the data table<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although the migration matrix only has 36 potential values to depict (from which some don’t even exist), the flowchart is already tremendously cluttered. The general question, which group loses most is hard to see, and the many small migration paths obscure the graph’s message to some extend.<\/p>\n

Here is my suggestion which uses barcharts for source and destination distribution and a fluctuation diagram for the migrations.<\/p>\n

What can we read from the graphs? There is a general movement towards “None”, which is by far the biggest receiving group.\u00a0Both “Catholics” and “Evangelicals” lose substantially, but “Evangelicals” at least gains somewhat from other groups. “Evangelicals” and “Mainline Protestants” seem to be the biggest 2×2 exchange. “Black Protestants” only lose to “None”, which also might just be a data error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
