Sample data

Illustrative sample data, not real arrest records · duiarrested.com

What it shows

Bars show the median bail set for a DUI arrest in each county. The whisker spans the middle half of cases, from the 25th to the 75th percentile, so a county with a wide spread looks different from one with a narrow spread.

How to read it

  • Counties are sorted from the highest median bail to the lowest.
  • A longer whisker means bail varies more from case to case.
  • The tooltip also shows the share of cases released on their own recognizance.
