Why it spread

It spread mainly because the chart explains itself and uses an unusual chart type, reaching 25,510 views with 129 likes, 18 reposts, 1 quote and 45 saves.

What worked

  • The post text names the comparison directly, marriage versus divorce rates by U.S. state, so viewers understand it without extra explanation.
  • The scatter form is uncommon for this topic, which made it stand out in the feed.
  • The chart is self labelling and branded, and it shows a source line, which supports trust and sharing.

What to borrow

We could pair a plain, self-explanatory title with a less common chart form for one of our own datasets, and keep our branding and source line visible.

Careful

Do not over-read the spread: the quote rate sits in the bottom quarter and the account's typical likes are unknown, so the likes and reposts alone do not prove the format will repeat.
