10
Ah yes, Utah and Indiana. Famously in the South
Surprised by this list I would’ve expected Mississippi, Alabama and West Virginia to be on this list
Mississippi put in the work to get out of the top ten (they’re now #11)
Alabama 8
Ops my mistake but the others still stand
Tbf the other 8 are in the south
Oklahoma and Missouri are not the south and Arkansas isn’t really either.
Lot of people in those states would disagree with that. Arkansas especially.
I have family who live in some of those states. You can make the case for Arkansas but Oklahoma and Missouri are absolutely not the South.
Truly on some level I think people hear “poor, rural, conservative” and they automatically think that makes it the South.
