Appalachia, the black belt, and reservations basically.
Show me US counties with more than 2 Waffle Houses.
Ack, that south area near Alabama and Mississippi. So sad, because a lot of black folk live down there 🙁
Absolutely shocked that my county is not a Below-75. Not shocked a bit that you can barely see Mississippi.
Oof. Look away, Dixieland.
Does this graphic look slightly askew? Like it’s drooping to the left
I’m 80. Should move to Mississippi.
SC would have more, except for all the retirees from up north.
Why is it so bad in the south east? Poor states?
That splotch of black that begins in SE Ohio, is all downstream from the Dupont chemical plant that infamously contaminated it’s workers with C-8 and continues to pump and dump PFOA into the air/Ohio river.
Poor counties in red states.
For what it’s worth, Oklahoma has two primary population centers, Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Neither of those are colored in. So, even though a significant portion of the state is colored in, most of Oklahoma’s population is not in those counties.
So is Newport County, RI one of those counties or are the island borders just too thick?
