While the US gov did give the data behind the chart it was all the data and a pain to work with so I used WebPlotDigitizer to transcribe the points and then some data wrangling in R to clean it up and make it work well with ggplot2.

It is possible to make the top "dumbbell" legend in ggplot2 (but not by using a guide) and color the "All Metro A
