Reputations of States - Some fun maps
As a market researcher, I'll preface this by saying that it's a panel from one of the worst businesses in our industry and so it's not really generalizable, but nonetheless it's kind of fun.
I suspect that there's a bit of a problem in that people may vote for their own states, which probably should be taken out of the data. As such, I figure that bigger states are amplified. I suspect that it wouldn't change the conclusions, though. http://www.businessinsider.com/poll-...-states-2013-8 |

I suspect that a lot of states suffer because people haven't been there to see them. Montana's not a huge tourist draw. I wonder what percent of Americans have ever set foot in the state. That's probably the way to improve this panel (aside from doing it as a real survey). You should ask people what states they've been to, and adjust the figures to account for visitation. I bet 75 percent of Americans have been to California, and I bet 1 percent have been to North Dakota.

Any poll that has people voting that NY has hotter residents than Texas is immediately invalidated. NYers are troglodytes in comparison. NYers are freaking troglodytes compared to MISSOURI for ****s sake.

I mean western ks is horrible. But once you get to about Hays it gets better, if you get off i70. I grew up going to a family farm north of Russell and it was tons of woodlands, creeks, hills, and wildlife. I find that scenery much nicer than open dry desert of the southwest but thats personal opinion I guess. I love going back there every chance I get. I'll be there nov 9th to fold some pheasants. cant wait.

Heck, Colorado has plains in half the state that are far less visually interesting than Kansas, but then most people aren't visiting that part of the state.

If you go for that Italian look, NY has some hotties. It's not a place for blonde-watching, though.

While providing pilot service and charters I have seen every state except Maine, Alaska, and Hawaii. My favorites for views are in the Northwest. Unbelievably beautiful. Arizona and Utah are pretty awesome from the air, too. East of the Rockies things are pretty meh in comparison. Nothing but the same trees, hills, and water. |

The Front Range area is horrible. Just draw a line from it down to Roswell, NM and El Paso, Tx.
Nothing. If you are a prepper it would be perfect. |

It's also a great place for chicks with lots of facial hair.

I have driven across Kansas and Nebraska many times and I can say this with confidence. Nebraska is the only state that I have driven across that looked better at night than it did in the daylight.
