Doing colours on a chart for one single year, is impractical. Places like the Territories and PEI have too few people to make an accurate sample size. It must be done over multiple years.
An example would be Nova Scotia's 2020 per-capita murder rate. It's much higher than any other year due to the worst massacre in Canadian history. Excluding the massacre, the murder rate is relatively low in the province.
The same goes for places like Yukon and Nunavut. If one man kills his family of 5, then himself one year, it would spike the per-capita murder rate up, considering there are less than 45,000 people in each territory.
A ten year average gives a more accurate reading.
