NSF's Graduate Students and Postdoctorates survey, science, engineering and health only — so these counts are smaller than total graduate enrolment, which includes law and business. Shading runs within each column, because a school with hundreds of doctoral students and dozens of postdocs would otherwise leave the postdoc column blank.
Each row is the same measure twice: the share across the whole university, and the share among graduate students. The distance between the two dots is the story.
38% of graduate students are distance-only.
