The correlation I had in mind were rural whites without a college education. The map seems to back me up.

Again, I wouldn't see any reason to correlate it with education level or rural people. The map really only shows that it's a southern thing.

Sure the south could have more rural white without a college education, but it also has more fresh peaches and warmer weather. You can't connect all of those things.

California also has fresh peaches and warm weather.

Montana also has a lot of ‘eighs’

I’m sticking to my hypothesis
