Jonathan, would a table be appropriate for this state information?
Sometimes when I've had to make complex graphical data accessible the
easiest route for both us developers and the end users is to put the data
into a logical row/column format right below the graphic. If the graphic is
read before the table in the reading order/tag tree, we put Alt-text on the
graphic that references the table, such as Alt="Map shows A vs. B by state
and the numerical data is listed in the table that follows."
