Might be a little easier battle if you use trunc() where you have
'between 6-7'....
so maybe trunc(to_number("value",'9D9'))

Here is one that seems similar to your intent that gets the count on
archery scoring, used for a bar graph.

SELECT "cnt_score"."val" AS val, count("cnt_score"."val") AS counter
FROM "examples"."cnt_score" GROUP BY "cnt_score"."val" ORDER BY val
ASC
