Stellen Sie sich eine Karte vor, die die Staaten in zwei verschiedene Gruppen unterteilt: regnerische Staaten vs. trockene Staaten, solche, die Katzen mögen, vs. solche, die Hunde mögen, Staaten, die Marihuana erlauben, vs. Staaten, die dies nicht tun. Jede dieser Karten veranschaulicht a einzel Art und Weise, wie sich Staaten voneinander unterscheiden können.
Aber was passiert, wenn man mehrere Unternehmensbereiche gleichzeitig betrachtet?
- Ist die Regen/Trocken-Trennung der Hund/Katze-Trennung ähnlich? (NEIN)
- Hängt die Kluft zwischen Binnenland und Küste mit der Waldfläche zusammen? (Etwas)
- Hängt die Zahl der Verkehrstoten davon ab, ob Lehrer Schüler verprügeln dürfen? (Ja, überraschend)
Was passiert, wenn Sie alle diese Divisionen gleichzeitig auf der Karte zeichnen? Gibt es Trends, die auffallen?
- Für diese Karte habe ich mir 376 verschiedene Arten der Aufteilung der Bundesstaaten angesehen.
- Es stellte sich heraus, dass es die beiden Staaten waren, die sich am meisten voneinander unterschieden New York Und Mississippialso werden sie an entgegengesetzten Enden des Spektrums platziert.
- Alle anderen Bundesstaaten werden danach eingestuft, wie oft sie New York zustimmen und wie oft sie Mississippi zustimmen.
- Das Ergebnis ist diese Karte, die den New-York-Mississippi-Zustand aller 50 Bundesstaaten zeigt.
Was bedeutet also eigentlich die Achse New York – Mississippi? Hat es etwas Sinnvolles damit zu tun?
Ich denke, wir können es nutzen, um mehr darüber zu erfahren Genau genommen spaltet Amerika.
Es stellt sich heraus, dass die NY-MS-Achse sehr gut mit vielen verschiedenen Abteilungen korreliert. Einige davon sind das, was Sie erwarten würden (politische Partei, Lebenshaltungskosten, religiöse Überzeugung), andere könnten jedoch überraschender sein. Zusammenfassend denke ich, dass dies dazu beiträgt, zu veranschaulichen, wie die Staaten tatsächlich gespalten sind.

Awesome map, but I have a hard time believing Kansas would be the „most typical state“. I would think that would be somewhere considered politically „purple“, like Michigan, North Carolina, or Virginia.
North Carolina is a load-bearing state.
Overindexing on political/ideological variables
… That list of data sets doesn’t look indiscriminate. It’s kinda like looking at race across the world and treating the genetic variance in „black“ as the same as in „white“ or „Asian.“ The chosen sets make things look more varied or similar than they really are. Arkansas and Alabama are the states that care the absolute least about politics and yet the majority of the data is looking at stuff they just don’t care about.
Honestly, I think this is really cool. Thanks for putting this together.
So Kansas is the middest state of the US then
OP – this is an interesting way of looking at it.
When you’re labeling these as „most typical state“ for Kansas (where I live), or CA as „least typical state“, are you taking into consideration the population of the states? California has 40 Million people, while Kansas has 3M. It’s hard to say CA is not ‚typical‘ when it has the population of most of these red states combined.
It seems like the political attitudes of the *median* person in America would be closer to blue-state than a mapping of actual behavior by red/rural/conservative states, or by a Federal congress and Presidential elections that are red/conservative weighted by the electoral college and presence of so many red/rural states.
Russian ancestry is the only strongly correlated data that surprised me. Any reason this might be? Is it related to Jewishness?
MI=OH and OH=MI is gonna ruffle some feathers
First off, great effort and big props for including all the sources.
Second, this is very indicative of the difference states are from my home state and how little I would want to live or even visit there (excluding natural landscape features).
This is really cool. The one thing I would say is that some of the included datasets are a little silly or not objective (cutting board shape for example, but also „how well known“). I’m not talking about the survey-based ones here, I’m talking about maps where the only data is the subjective opinion of the map creator themselves.
This is just a US political map
Awesome work. Man I love California.
I don’t get it, most typical as in the most balanced, or?
Pretty funny to see a bunch of bad stuff correlate with conservatism lol
