Clubs per Capita

Due to a personal “mini fiscal cliff”, I have not SCed in 2 months. Surprisingly, it has gotten easier with time although there are certainly days when I want to say fuck it, let's go (to the SC) – but I've abstained :) So to fill the PL void, I have been spending more time on TUSCL. I was reading some reviews of SCs in states other than my own and I was noticing the # of clubs per state per TUSCL. For some reason I wondered about a correlation of clubs to particular states but of course many factors can influence this. So, since I had some time kill, I decided to enquire about the # of clubs per capita for each state. Not that this correlation necessarily means anything; but I thought it would just be interesting to see the #s. Some of you may say this PL needs to get a life – can't say I can disagree :) Below are the 10 states with the highest # of clubs per capita – followed by the 10 states with the lowest # of clubs per capita – followed by all the states in alphabetical order. The # of clubs data was taken from TUSCL's “Clubs” page. The total population per state data represents the 2010 census data as indicated in the following Wikipedia page: ([view link]) This was a manual process consisting mostly of cutting and pasting since I have not used Excel in a few years - thus there may be some errors (though I was pretty careful when doing it). Not sure how the formatting will look when I post this (probably crappy) – but there are 4 different columns: [state name] – [# of clubs] – [state pop] – [# of residents per # of clubs] TOP 10 LEAST # OF RESIDENTS PER # OF CLUBS:: West Virginia • 45 Clubs - 1,852,994 - 41,178 Oregon • 91 Clubs - 3,831,074 - 42,100 Nevada • 47 Clubs - 2,700,551 – 57,459 Wyoming • 9 Clubs - 563,626 - 62,625 South Dakota • 13 Clubs - 814,180 - New Jersey • 125 Clubs - 8,791,894 – Hawaii • 19 Clubs - 1,360,301 - 71,595 Wisconsin • 73 Clubs - 5,686,986 - 77,904 Oklahoma • 46 Clubs - 3,751,351 - 81,551 South Carolina • 54 Clubs - 4,625,364 - 85,655 TOP 10 MOST # OF RESIDENTS PER # OF CLUBS: New Hampshire • 2 Clubs - 1,316,470 – 658,235 Vermont • 1 Club - 625,741 - 625,741 Washington • 15 Clubs - 6,724,540 - 448,303 Arkansas • 9 Clubs - 2,915,918 – 323,991 Utah • 9 Clubs - 2,763,885 - 307,098 Mississippi • 10 Clubs - 2,967,297 - 296,730 Maine • 5 Clubs - 1,328,361 - 265,672 Tennessee • 26 Clubs - 6,346,105 - 244,081 Virginia • 34 Clubs - 8,001,024 - 235,324 Colorado • 23 Clubs - 5,029,196 – 218,661 ALL STATES IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER: Alabama • 35 Clubs - 4,779,736 – 136,564 Alaska • 7 Clubs - 710,231 - 101,461 Arizona • 54 Clubs - 6,392,017 – 118,370 Arkansas • 9 Clubs - 2,915,918 – 323,991 California • 180 Clubs - 37,253,956 - 206,966 Colorado • 23 Clubs - 5,029,196 – 218,661 Connecticut • 35 Clubs - 3,574,097 - 102,117 D.C. • 7 Clubs - 601,723 – 85,960 Delaware • 5 Clubs - 897,934 - 179,587 Florida • 208 Clubs - 18,801,310 - 90,391 Georgia • 66 Clubs - 9,687,653 – 146,783 Hawaii • 19 Clubs - 1,360,301 - 71,595 Idaho • 10 Clubs - 1,567,582 - 156,758 Illinois • 67 Clubs - 12,830,632 - 191,502 Indiana • 70 Clubs - 6,483,802 - 92,626 Iowa • 33 Clubs - 3,046,355 – 92,314 Kansas • 29 Clubs - 2,853,118 - 98,383 Kentucky • 37 Clubs - 4,339,367 - 117,280 Louisiana • 49 Clubs - 4,533,372 – 92,518 Maine • 5 Clubs - 1,328,361 - 265,672 Maryland • 50 Clubs - 5,773,552 - 115,471 Massachusetts • 30 Clubs - 6,547,629 - 218,254 Michigan • 88 Clubs - 9,883,640 - 112,314 Minnesota • 26 Clubs - 5,303,925 - 203,997 Mississippi • 10 Clubs - 2,967,297 - 296,730 Missouri • 30 Clubs - 5,988,927 - 199,631 Montana • 9 Clubs - 989,415 - 109,935 Nebraska • 10 Clubs - 1,826,341 – 182,634 Nevada • 47 Clubs - 2,700,551 – 57,459 New Hampshire • 2 Clubs - 1,316,470 – 658,235 New Jersey • 125 Clubs - 8,791,894 – 70,335 New Mexico • 10 Clubs - 2,059,179 – 205,918 New York • 125 Clubs - 19,378,102 – 155,025 North Carolina • 89 Clubs - 9,535,483 – 107,140 North Dakota • 5 Clubs - 672,591 - 134,518 Ohio • 134 Clubs - 11,536,504 - 86,093 Oklahoma • 46 Clubs - 3,751,351 - 81,551 Oregon • 91 Clubs - 3,831,074 - 42,100 Pennsylvania • 116 Clubs - 12,702,379 - 109,503 Rhode Island • 9 Clubs - 1,052,567 - 116,952 South Carolina • 54 Clubs - 4,625,364 - 85,655 South Dakota • 13 Clubs - 814,180 - 62,629 Tennessee • 26 Clubs - 6,346,105 - 244,081 Texas • 219 Clubs - 25,145,561 - 114,820 Utah • 9 Clubs - 2,763,885 - 307,098 Vermont • 1 Club - 625,741 - 625,741 Virginia • 34 Clubs - 8,001,024 - 235,324 Washington • 15 Clubs - 6,724,540 - 448,303 West Virginia • 45 Clubs - 1,852,994 - 41,178 Wisconsin • 73 Clubs - 5,686,986 - 77,904 Wyoming • 9 Clubs - 563,626 - 62,625

    Papi - That report & $20 will buy you a lap dance at Tootsies. I suggest that rather than just hangng out on TUSCL, get a 2nd part time job to raise cash for real clubbing. :)

    sc, Maybe Fonder will use the data and compensate me :) Compensation may just be free VIP though and this wouldn’t help me since I already have the lifetime PL membership.

    Thanks for the research. I'll buy you a drink if you pass through cleveland! Could you post the excel spreadsheet so we can do our own manipulations with the data?

    I did something similar some time ago. Might be that S. Florida sun on the brain that causes us to do such things! :) Look at what happened to vm, and he was down here only a couple of years during the "winter".

    @Cleveland, Don’t know if you were being facetious :) but I did not use a spreadsheet . I just used Word and Word’s sorting function for writing/manipulating of the data.

    Here is an article I posted in 2010 [view link] List of states that have seen an increase in the number of strip clubs since 2001 to 2010 Oregon had 43 clubs in 2001 to 86 clubs in 2010 (100% increase)

    think the highest strip clubs per capita award goes to Brooklyn Illinois. Population = 276 No. of strip clubs = 4. That's one strip club for every 70 inhabitants. Is there ANY other town city or village that comes close?? City of Industry, CA comes somewhat close with ~800 residents and ~6 clubs.

    “… Brooklyn Illinois. Population = 276 No. of strip clubs = 4. That's one strip club for every 70 inhabitants …” Wow – the SCs may be the biggest employers in town – talk about a cottage industry.

    LOL, Clubber. I never left the clubs there wearing only palm tree leaves. :)

    Samsung- I'm here in Portland and there are a lot of strip clubs, but a lot of them are just dives that happen to have dancers dancing.

    vm, "wearing only palm tree leaves", damn it, did I? Didn't think I ever drank that much! :)

    Washington #3 for least clubs per capita, after only NH and Vermont. We are so lame now.

    Maine, New Hampshire, & Vermont All in the top 10 for least number of clubs per capital. That NE corner of the US is bleak for clubbing. A demographer/sociologist should study why.

    LOL motor - and Massachusetts is number 11. I am originally from that neck of the woods and can tell you that it is the vestiges of old Puritan influences. Most of those towns are very old and operate under town council structures that allow residents with ample opportunity to speak their minds before any major decisions are made, including allowing an adult entertainment business to open. Many of these towns have also long ago effectively zoned out these types of businesses and the ones that currently exist are often grandfathered under legacy allowances. Net-net, it is almost impossible to open a new club in any of those 4 states - old clubs go away and often cannot be replaced with new ones. But the good news is that RI and CT are ripe with good clubs, though that is little consolation to those who live in NH, ME and VT.

    That is surprising to see Washington have so few clubs per capita especially when you subtract all the cookie cutter Deja Vu clubs. Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Boeing, etc. are all big employers there.

    @RD - I grew up in MA in a town of 30,000 residents, with no bars, and one restaurant with a liquor license. On Sundays, all businesses were closed except the Pharmacy and a couple of gas stations. As a kid, I heard about places in Boston where it was possible to see naked women. It was called the "Combat Zone", probably to discourage visitors. All of this childhood repression explains my behavior today (eh, probably not).

    PC: You should post those stats as an article, and get 4wks VIP! You have way too much time on your hands! As I've never seen ~ 40k-100k mongers try to get into a stripclub on a given night, there are a lot of people that don't visit clubs. I could care less about club density as long as there is a good one within reasonable driving distance. Quality over quantity!

    @Samsung: Thanks for resorting and reposting the data @minnow: Actually it just took about a 1/2 hour to do it – it was mostly just cutting & pasting. Would have been faster if I was more adept at using a spreadsheet. Since I am not currently SCing, I end up doing crazy stuff like this :)
