Is the bar graph the raw number and the line graph the percentage or is it the other way around? A legend would be helpful.

Useless without knowing if post office counts stayed stable or up and down over time.

It looks like these are honorary renamings, usually after some locally famous person (they don't affect anything about the actual mail, they usually just put up a plaque at the post office) and they are occasionally controversial.

These are post office renamings. The buildings already existed

But if they are making up the same percentage of overall buildings because the amount of buildings is rising too that would be a lot different than if the increase is on a stable denominator.
