That's not how you read a graph. It doesn't say what you think it says.
As proximity to the toilet increases, the toilet necessity increases.
Typically you put your independent variable on the X axis and the dependent on the Y. It now looks as if the more urgently you need to go, the closer people get to toilets (which, while not linear, will probably also be correct)
Maybe the graph was created by an economist
I love that proximity is open end. You can alwas be closer.
I would have chosen "distance" instead where 0 marks a logical end
So the closer I am, the less I have to go?
Urgency increases along the X axis
This graph is saying the opposite of your statement. It should have a line going from upper left to lower right, to support your statement.
The graph says what OP says, the design is just poor. The left part of the line is low proximity (far away) and low urgency (easy to hold).
Why proximity rather than distance and why urgency is on the X axis rather than place or time for that matter, that I can not tell. That's beyond me.
