We need the ratio of the number in Wisconsin in 1930 to the number in New York in 1930. Because of the different scales, we can't estimate the ratios by comparing the respective heights of the two graphs; we need to find the actual figures. The New York population in 1930 was approximately 13,000 thousand, or 13 million. In Wisconsin, it was about 2600 thousand, or about 2.6 million. The ratio of Wisconsin to New York, then, is approximately $2.6: 13$, or about $1: 5$.
