How to read this. For each state we check its latest ~100 news headlines (about three days) and count how many are about crime, DUI, gambling, and drugs or overdoses. The overlap score averages the four shares and scales them 0 to 100 against the highest state. This measures what is being reported, which is not the same as what is happening: big news markets and one big story can move it. It is a starting point, not a verdict.
