This is an interesting data point on the continuing divide between coastal and non-coastal culture/demographics.

Here the wealth, political leanings, conspicuous art consumption, etc. has been diverging from our more inland neighbors for the past mant decades. I often worry that this divide is becoming much too wide for all of our own good.
