New Civil Marriage Map

Between travels and moving, I've not had access to my mapping software.  Here finally is a quick update to my marriage map.  Let me know if you see any updates or changes I've not captured for the months I was away.

While I was overseas it appears Oregon and Pennsylvania added civil marriage for same-sex couples.  The Freedom to Marry folks who closely follow all the litigation report that since the Supreme Court's Windsor decision, 24 courts have ruled in favor of same-sex marriage with 0 ruling against.

Is the Typical American Fat?

Two out of every 3 American adults are now overweight (35.8%) or obese (27.6%) based on their BMI. While most American adults report being physically active in the past month, most of us do not eat our recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

Where the Typical American Eats

Apparently Jennifer, our Typical American, likes the Golden Arches and thinks things do taste better on a Ritz.

Asian Urban America

This rather oddly laid out map reflects that all the metro areas where Asian Americans constitute 10% or more of the population are in the West.  Asian Americans make up 44% of residents in Honolulu.  Greater than 1 in 4 residents in Silicon Valley are also Asian.

Jennifer, our Typical American, is a non-smoker but does like a wee drink every now and then.
