There were errors in a MetroNews chart Monday that rated states and the District of Columbia on the basis of group-home services for the mentally retarded. While the rankings were correct, numbers for the bottom five states should have been:
47. Illinois 16.6
48. Mississippi 14.7
49. Tennessee 12.7
50. Alabama 8.5
51. Virginia 3.4
