C’mon, Florida — we’re slipping! How does the land of Florida Man/Woman not end up in the top ten?
This map comes from Estately, who took two data sets:
- The number of Facebook users in each state expressing interest in Black Friday sales, which was likely done by searching for specific words and phrases, and
- frequency of aggravated assaults in each state,
and ranked each state in both categories. They then averaged the two rankings and used that average rank to create a list of US states ranked for likelihood of Black Friday brawlin’. Given their loosey-goosey statistics methodology, you should take this list with an appropriately-sized grain of salt, but I’ll bet you still want to know, so here’s the top ten list:
- Arkansas
- Tennessee
- Alabama
- Louisiana
- Missouri
- West Virginia
- Oklahoma
- Indiana
- Kansas
- South Carolina
