My impression is that the South is relatively under-represented and the Midwest is relatively over-represented in terms of posters here.

Atlas is very white, so posters tend to be from whiter places.

Very Few Great Plains and Mountain West posters her. Also very few from Alaska or Hawaii.

That's because they're virtually uninhabited.

If they ban Sparky PA will be just about right.

New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Massachusetts have more presence than usual
Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Texas have less
(if I had to guess)

I've seen 6 or 7 Indiana posters, which seems a lot for a mid-sized state.

Not a lot of people from Texas given how large of a state it is.

I don't think so.  California is what?  1/8th of the US population?  I don't think it's 1/8th of the US posters here.  I'd say the West in general is the most underrepresented region of the US here.

My old self would've made a spreadsheet to investigate.

I've noticed Iowa, New Mexico and Colorado are under-represented and Indiana, Missouri, and Virginia are over-represented.
