Kansas
Kansas is 32nd in total U. S. Population. They ranked 22nd in cars offered
with 8 and 17th of cars sold with 4. 25% sold below average while 75% went
for above average.
Arkansas
Arkansas ranks 33rd in total population, even though there are only four
last names in the whole state :). They ranked 21st in total offered (10)
and 15th in total sold (6). An even half fell on each side of average.
Utah
34th in total population. 20th in total offered (11), and a surprising 14th
in total sold. 57% above, 43% below. Very respectable, Utah.
Nevada
35th in total population. 24th in total offered (6) and 18th in sold rank
(3) 1/3 above and 2/3's below national model average.
New Mexico
(Hi Michael) The Land of Enchantment (and not much else :)) is 36th in total
population. They ranked 27th in cars offered (2) and 20th in sales (1).
That one car sold above average.
West Virginia
37th in total population. 23rd in cars offered (7) and 18th in cars sold
(3). All three sold above national average. Once again, a "rural" state
shows the way. I find this interesting given West Virginia reputation for
severe poverty.
Nebraska
(of course, we all know that's where most of the rest of the cars went!!!
Brad K.'s collection must be growing by leaps and bounds :)) 38th in
population. 22nd in cars offered (8) and 17th in cars sold (4). 50% - 50%
above and below average.
Idaho
39th in population, 24th in cars offered (6) and 19th in cars sold (2).
Again, and even split between cars sold for more than and cars sold for less
than national model average.
Maine
40th in population rank. 21st in offered (10) and 18th in cars sold (3). 1
sold above average and the remaining 2 sold for below average.
New Hampshire
41st in population rank. 27th in cars offered (2) and 20th in car sold (1)/
That car sold below national model average.
Hawaii
No cars offered or sold.
Rhode Island
(I guess you can call it a state :)) 43rd in population, 21st in cars
offered (10) and 16th in sales (5). 40% went at or above average 60% went
below average.
Montana
44th in population rank. 26th in offers (3) and it was dead last in sales
as none of these cars sold.
Delaware
45th in population. 23rd in cars offered (7) and 16th in sale (5) giving
Delaware the very respectable sale rate of 71.4%. Of these five cars 80%
sold above national average and a mere 20% came in below.
South Dakota
46th in population. No cars offered, although there is presently one list
right now :)
North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, and Vermont
The smallest states each offered no cars.
Wyoming
Big Sky County 50th in population was 25th in cars offered (4) and 18th in
sales (3). Those numbers represent a large deviation from what I would have
expected. Unfortunately, all three cars sold below national average.
District of Columbia
2 cars offered. Both sold above average.
I started to figure sales per square mile, but those numbers seems to follow
size more than anything else, with D. C. and Rhode Island as the most dense
states in terms of sales per square mile.
The duplications in rankings comes from ties. Several states sold the same
number of cars as another.
Conclusions?? Well if you have made it this far you can certainly draw your
own. The big states tend to give us the most cars, but the prices are
usually below average. The surprises, for me were Oregon, Wisconsin and
Delaware. The sun belt tends to sell better cars (if price is an
indication) and the rural South was a surprise, both in sales rank vs.
population rank and the percentages sold above model averages.
Again, these numbers are far from scientific and I really do not understand
the nuances of statistics very well. Feel free to ask for the raw data.
