It looks like the closer people are to vacation country, the more likely they are to travel.
Also some of these rates are high, even by small european countries’ standards.
So richer states have more passports. What a surprise
I’m surprised at California. Wasn’t expecting it to be that high.
Is there a similar map for Europe?
These maps are just reconfirming my lack of desire to travel to the Bible belt
Interesting proxy for the big 5 characteristic of openness.
Thought OK would be more orange.
This is surprisingly higher than i thought it would be!
Utah is that dark because of Mormon missionaries
Can’t say I’m surprised that the 4 richest states have a high number
Unsurprisingly, the ‘Murika! crowd are most likely to be the ones with the fewest points of comparison.
Virginia is higher than I’d expect outside of NOVA but I suppose our massive military population often has one.
lol @ the South. Living here… I understand entirely. Most of my town has never left the county, let alone the state. International travel? Ha!
I find Illinois interesting. I dont know much about it but it seems to stand out against a lot of the other states in the top two brackets.
