StateStats

StateStats shows you how popular a Google search query is in each U.S. state. It then compares this ranking with other ways of ranking states, like average income, number of obese people, or population density.


Be careful drawing conclusions from this data. For example, the fact that a search for 'walmart' shows a moderate correlation with 'obesity' does not imply that people who search for walmart are obese! It only means that states with a high obesity rate tend to have a high rate of users searching for walmart, and vice versa.
