You're looking at a table capturing male USTA player ratings in aggregate at the end of 2010. You can grab the original data at this page: http://tennislink.usta.com/leagues/reports/NTRP/AdvancedSearch.aspx, as I did. For each city, I searched for the smallest area or district in the drill down.
-From left to right, we have the ratings and the percentile of players at that level or below - so for male USTA players in LA, there are 2.2% of men playing at 3.0 or below.
-Total is the total number of players in that USTA section (Atlanta had 6330 players, for example).
-Weighted average rating is the average NTRP of men in that city, accounting for the number of players at each rating slice.
So we learn a few things. For example, very few people seem to play USTA in LA, and those who do tend to be serious players at higher ratings. Atlanta has a lot of players, but its curve looks left shifted with more players at 3.0 and 3.5, especially in comparison to a place like San Francisco, which also has a lot of players (suburbs included).
It also seems that the typical player in Atlanta is probably a high 3.5, whereas everywhere else, he'll likely be a 4.0 at either the low end of the range (Honolulu) or at the higher end (LA).
And as we already knew, the middle 70-80% of USTA participants are either playing 3.5 or 4.0.
