SC's Per Capita

sinclair
Strip Club Nation
I divided state populations (2010) by how many clubs were in that state. Here are the states listed by who has the most strip clubs per capita. The data would read like this "Oregon has 1 SC per every 40,756 people."

Oregon 40,756
West Virginia 42,114
Nevada 56,261
Wyoming 62,625
South Dakota 62,629

New Jersey 70,902
Wisconsin 75,826
Oklahoma 76,558
District of Columbia 85,960
Iowa 87,039
South Carolina 87,271
Ohio 87,398
Florida 90,828
Indiana 93,968
Louisiana 96,455
Connecticut 99,280

Great info, Sinclair.

My area, Virginia, sucks when it comes to strip clubs.

There aren't many to pick from and because of that the cost of everything is higher than in most other states.

Lap dances STARTING at $50 bones. Shits ridiculous.

Sometimes, when I see poor dancer quality, I think there might be TOO MANY strip clubs. (a silly idea, right?)

But this chart shows there aren't too many clubs, they're just not properly distributed.

Great job, Sinclair. These are statistics worth reading.

As for WA - it's or dang politicians combined with the fact the strip clubs owners here overplayed their hand a few years and got taken down almost completely because of it.

I like demographic statistics. Some observations:

1. Oregon and Washington are adjoining states but at opposite ends of the chart. What's in the water in the Columbia River?

2. Note how skewed the distribution is by population: The five most populous states are: CA, Fl, IL, NY, and TX. Of those, only FL is in the top half of the list.

3. Others have produced this chart before. What would be really interesting to see, is if there's a correlation to income by state. I just located an income table. I'll try to get to posting a distribution by income later today.

New Hampshire where men are men and sheep are scared!

Speaking of statistics, I wonder if extras correlate with high unemployment and low median income. This should probably be looked at on the basis of metropolitan area rather than state.

This discussion is missing a major factor. SCs largely serve out-of-towners. This explains rankings like Nevada and Florida. Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan all benefit from Chicagoans. etc., etc.

No wonder the NukeyBoyNukem was able to acquire the wicked skills and game he has. All those strip clubs per capita to practice is! (Which is to take nothing away from his innate abilities, of course.)

I disagree with Tucky70. SCs actually serve (and profit from) primarily the local mongers - except in a couple of unique situations. Las Vegas is a principal example. Otherwise, I believe the stat that matters is the number of males between the ages of 30 and 70 who live or work with one hour of a community. (under 30 they ain't got the money and over 70 - except for Shadow - they ain't got the giddy-up)

If enough men are close, someone will open a SC. A larger population means more clubs. Enough clubs competing for our business and some clubs will have "looser" oversight than others. If there are a number of clubs competing for business, then there will be a lot of dancers in those clubs competing for our money. Dancers will go where the clubs are! Enough competition, and extras will be available!

Brooklyn Illinois has highest per capita for cities. COI is also pretty dense

Brooklyn Illinois. Population = 276 No. of strip clubs = 4. That's one strip club for every 70 inhabitants

City of Industry, CA comes somewhat close with ~800 residents and ~6 clubs.

I did one of those some years ago, but couldn't find it in the catacombs of TUSCL. I wanted to compare the numbers from back about 10 years ago.

It’s probably hard to make correlations.

It seems that a very big variable has to do with local ordinances.

regulars are the primary source of revenue

local laws (or state law, for example OR) are a huge component in how many SCs exist

Strip clubs are about the only things Oregon is good for.

I believe a number of Myrtle Beach clubs count on visitors. Tourism is big business in South Carolina and other states.
