Looking at the journal article, I notice that in addition to the usual demographic and political stuff, one of the variables in their formula is something to do with driving or commuting by car. (Exactly what it is isn't completely clear; I haven't read all the supplementary files about the methodology).
I'd guess that this is behind a number of the oddities noticed in the thread: Amish, south Florida retirees, Hispanic farmworkers in Texas and the west. (And maybe North Dakota oil workers? Are there sort of company shuttles from Williston out to the work sites since the actual oilfields don't have parking lots? Not sure about this.)
