I'm not sure this data is very meaningful. The ranking metric used is a "weighted" tuition based on how many students pay out of state vs in state tuition. This is not very useful as a student is either one or the other. Better off to show the hours based on both or just one than a weird average. It is more a map of states with higher or lower shares of in state students.
