I'm surprised by your numbers. Sounds like Texas is a big part of the problem. According to your numbers, y'all have more in Dallas than there are in the entire State of Georgia, by a long shot. In fact, more in Dallas than in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi combined.
I would've assumed that Texas would be similarly situated to the other Southern states. According to your numbers, it is more like the West Coast.
