Per Capita Strip Clubs Quiz

Virginia
Ok, I admit that every now and then I think up weird stuff to do . . . like figuring out the number of people in a state for each strip club located within its borders. Making the assumption that TUSCL is a fairly accurate directory of the strip clubs in each state (I know, for example, that it's spot on for Virginia) and using the most recent census numbers for each state I came up with a few interesting tidbits. I will post the complete list at the end, but see if you can make some educated guesses to the following questions:
1. What is the number of persons per strip club for the entire county?
2. Which state has the fewest people per strip club?
3. Which has the most people per strip club?
4. Does the most populous state (California) have more or fewer residents per strip club than the least populous (Wyoming)?
5. Which major party's presidential candidate's state (Illinois for Obama; Massachusetts for Romney) has more strip clubs by population?
Here is the list in order of most strip clubs per capita to least (followed by the answers to the quiz if you don't want to hunt through the list):
US 126,000, WV 38,000, OR 44,000, NV 56,000, SD 63,000, NJ 71,000, WY 71,000, HI 72,000, DC 77,000, WI 79,000, OK 84,000, SC 85,000, OH 91,000, IN 92,000, FL 93,000, IA 95,000, LA 97,000, CT 99,000, KS 102,000, AK 103,000, RI 105,000, NC 107,000, MT 111,000, MD 112,000, MI 113,000, AZ 115,000, PA 118,000, KY 118,000, TX 121,000, GA 151,000, DE 151,000, NY 153,000, AL 155,000, ID 158,000, ND 171,000, IL 186,000, MN 198,000, MO 2,00000, NE 204,000, VT 208,000, CA 211,000, MA 219,000, CO 222,000, VA 238,000, TN 246,000, NM 26,0000, MS 298,000, AR 326,000, ME 332,000, UT 352,000, WA 427,000, NH 439,000
1. What is the number of persons per strip club for the entire county? 126,000
2. Which state has the fewer people per strip club? West Virginia (apparently it is Almost Heaven)
3. Which has the most people per strip club? New Hampshire (Live Strip Club Free or Die)
4. Does the most populous state (California) have more or fewer residents per strip club than the least populous (Wyoming)? Wyoming has almost 3 times the number of strip clubs as California based on population . . . Big Sky Country indeed!
5. Which major party's presidential candidate's state (Illinois for Obama; Massachusetts for Romney) has more strip clubs by population? It's Illinois (1 per every 186,000) by landslide over Massachusetts (1 per every 219,000).

1. It would also be interesting to see per capita based on metropolitan statistical data area instead of entire state. Rural area could be draging down the average, or lack of zoning in rural area could up the average. For example, is Portland, OR really the most SC per capata?
2. Still need a way to 'grade on a curve' and not count air dance club or more weight to high mileage clubs.

@ mjx: A lot of Portland "strip clubs" are really just restaurants with a small stage and pole in a corner, further skewing the per capita statistics.
What I find interesting is that states that are demographically similar, but differ widely in the number of Strip Clubs. For example, VA 23800 v. NC 107000 and KY 118000 v. TN 246000 -- and right in the middle of all these is WV in the number one spot.
On the other hand, OH 91,000 and IN 92,000 are, as one might suspect, like two peas in a pod.
@ranukam thanks for the comparison as well. I'm looking forward to my Portland trip (if it happens -- October).
You'll have to let me know your favorite clubs up there. I hope to make the most of the trip if I'm there.
Do you think it might give a different look if the data was SCs per Males 18 and up?
