2. A very interesting map!!

   I think I’m seeing two things:
   1. Migration for jobs
   2. Elevated male mortality rate in some locations

   But I bet there is a lot of interesting stuff this map is showing.

3. Loving County TX has the fewest women!
   Texas sausage fest?

4. As a straight guy who was once single in Alabama… uh… I’m really not sure where they were hiding all these women that are allegedly around. Probably retirement homes

5. Would really like to see the ages too somehow. Something tells me that the reds have a heavily skewed older female population and a more balanced younger population. The blues are probably just an overall more male population overall.

6. The majority female counties align well with the “black belt” of majority black counties in the south, including along the banks of the Mississippi.

7. What software/library did you use to create the map?

8. Funny how a few of the counties that skew heavily toward women are adjacent to a county that skews heavily toward men, like they all packed up and moved or something, lol

9. You can see right there why Nevada needs those legal brothels.

10. The intersections of oppression in the South fascinate me. The most POC live there per capita, highest poverty rates, lowest access to education, healthcare and voting, and now I see a higher ratio of women. Incredible.

11. For anyone wondering why Pulaski County Georgia has such a low male:female ratio, it’s likely [the women’s prison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulaski_State_Prison)

12. Davidson county is not showing the bachelorette party surge we get every weekend.

13. Pretty big Mormon population in rexburg Idaho? I imagine?

14. As someone who has never lived in Alaska, my guess is that living in the state feels so isolating and cold that not many women would want to live there. And men are human radiators, so.
