Wi-fi by state
Planning a cross-country trip, and I just noticed that Jiwire has fewer wi-fi hotspots listed in Michigan than Imbler. Now, that doesn't totally surprise me even taking into account the population differential (10 million vs. 3.5). But, out of curiousity I did the following: took the population of the state, divided it by the number of wi-fi spots listed in Jiwire (so, I got the number of people per hotspot), and then divided these numbers by the lowest value (so 1 would be the "state" with the fewest people per hotspot). Anyway, I put "state" in quotations because Washington D.C. came out on top. Here are the top five (the second value is the raw ratio while the third is the relative measure): DC 3912 1 Bottom five: KY 52793 13.49 West Virginia is pretty wack. But, I believe it was also the last state to get a Starbucks. Below is the full list. Excel file with all data (and a chart) here (though really, take 30 minutes and you can get it from the Census and Jiwire too!). DC 3912 1
