The FDIC chose a chart design that can display up to 25 bank failures per month (See 2020 for examples of how the Y axis is used for failures).

Of course, too much shouldn't be read into this, but it's interesting they chose such a chart rather than a table listing failures.

24 in one month for July 2009!
There were 140 bank failures in 2009 in total!

Forward comparability?
