You can add 2 rows of CustomLabels, e.g.:

private void FillChart()
{
    // fill the data table with values
    var dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
    dt.Columns.Add("City", typeof(string));
    dt.Columns.Add("State", typeof(string));
    dt.Columns.Add("Population", typeof(int));

    dt.Rows.Add(0, "City1", "State1", 100);
    dt.Rows.Add(1, "City2", "State1", 30);
    dt.Rows.Add(2, "City3", "State1", 40);
    dt.Rows.Add(3, "City1", "State2", 80);
    dt.Rows.Add(4, "City2", "State2", 70);

    // bind the data table to chart
    this.chart1.Series.Clear();

    var series = this.chart1.Series.Add("Series 1");
    series.XValueMember = "Id";
    series.YValueMembers = "Population";

    series.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Column;
    this.chart1.DataSource = dt;
    this.chart1.DataBind();

    // custom labels 
    foreach (var g in dt.AsEnumerable().GroupBy(x => x.Field<string>("State")))
    {
        string state = g.Key;
        var cities = g.Select(r => new { Id = r.Field<int>("Id"), City = r.Field<string>("City") });
        // find min-max
        int min = cities.Min(y => y.Id);
        int max = cities.Max(y => y.Id);
        // city labels
        foreach (var city in cities)
        {
            var label = new CustomLabel(city.Id - 1, city.Id + 1, city.City, 0, LabelMarkStyle.None);
            this.chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.CustomLabels.Add(label);
        }
        // city states
        var statelabel = new CustomLabel(min, max, state, 1, LabelMarkStyle.LineSideMark);
        this.chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.CustomLabels.Add(statelabel);
    }
}

Result is pretty similar:

In Visual studio RDLC this can be easily achieved by

1. create a dataset and add a datatable with fields; city,state,value

   

2. create a blank RDLC report and insert a chart of your choice from the tool box selecting your datatable as the datasource

3. click on the chart area to get "Chart data" dialog

4. For Vlues add "your value", for category groups add "State" and "City"
