The United States is divided into five regions: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and the West. The regions of the United States are grouped by history, traditions, economy, climate, and geography.

I'm just curious to see what region has the largest percentage of VOOM subscribers. (please, current VOOM subscribers only!)

Northeast (CT,ME,MA,NH,RI,VT,DE,MD,NJ,NY,PA) - 57.5M
Southeast (AL,AR,FL,GA,KY,LA,MS,NC,SC,TN,VA,WV) - 55.5M
Midwest (IL,IN,IA,KS,MI,MN,MO,NE,ND,OH,SD,WI) - 61.1M
Southwest (AZ,NM,OK,TX) - 21.4M
West - (CO,ID,MT,NV,UT,WY,AK,CA,HA,OR,WA) - 54.4M

Florida reporting in.

Illinois here.

The West is the best baby!

I think you should have broken out West into 2 Regions: West and NorthWest.

...or those with water and those who buy the water from those with water...Thanks Oregon for keeping all of our California babes hydrated...

I think you should have broken out West into 2 Regions: West and NorthWest.Divide it at San Francisco, not at the Oregon border. We northern Californians don't want to be grouped in with the glitzy Hollywood surfer types.

Hey, neither do us down here in San Diego but that doesn't mean I want to be part of Mexico...

Its funny, I live in WAY northern California, hours from Santa Rosa. I meet people visiting from other countries, Sweden for example, and what they think of California and what they actually SEE here are two completely different things. They expect "Baywatch" but get "Deliverence" (not quite but I thought that was funny). California is huge and varies widely as far as environment and people.

WHy didn't you divide one vote per state? ;)

Me too, that's why I don't live there anymore. ;) But I do miss the beach. :D

--DanYep! You must be up around the "Republic of Jefferson"? Is that what they call it?

People from "back east" (that means east of Las Vegas) think of California and think palm trees and the Hollywood sign. Hey easterners, the palm trees stop less than half way up the state!

(Sorry for the OT.)

Jefferson State. Nobody really seems to take that seriously though. However we do have a Jefferson State Brewery and restaurant even more north of my current residence, great fish and chips and OK beer. Here is an interesting fact, did you know that Las Vegas is actually further west than Los Angeles? Its true! You shouldnt need to apologize, I don't think this discussion is off topic much, its about Voomers locations!

Come on you Left Coasters, the Rednecks are pulling ahead. ;)

I would have liked to have added a few more regions (Mid-Atlantic in my case), but these five regions (with the exception of Southwest) are evenly populated which makes it easy to do the two-dums. I was expecting to see fewer from the West Coast and Southwest, more from the Northeast and a lot more from the Southeast due to the Brandsmart promo. We shall see...

I wonder if those specs are for the middle of each city. If so, I wonder if the most western edge of the cities would make Las Vegas more west than Los Angeles? I emailed a geography expert to see what he thought. I know I have heard the claim many times while growing up, so I think its true, but it could be wrong.

--Dan

edit: I just found out the Reno is more west than LA. Maybe thats what I heard so many times growing up. You'd think I would have remembered it right!

where is the state of HA? :)

As an Okie living in Texas, I have 2 things to say. First, Oklahoma is not in the SW. Second, Texas is Texas. The folks here consider the state a region unto itself.

Colorado.

Duh, California, where's that?

Northern California guy, take a look the map. Northern California actually begins with Novato so "Hello fellow Southern Californians in San Francisco!"

Nice Try. Anything North of Santa Barbara ans South of San Fran is called CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. Still probably accounts for somehwere in the top 20 GDP's of the world...

Okay, split it into three states: Northern California, Central California, and Southern California.

Who gets Arnie?? :shocked

Iowa here

NY. The welfare state.....errr Empire state.

Southeast and MIdwest have the largest right now it seems.

As a Newbie from the UK, can someone please explain to me why Californians (and others ) say Las Vegas like "Los Vegas"??? This has mystified me for years!!!
Thanks guys...
God Bless America!! :usa :heart

:confused:Welcome to the Voom forum! Voom is available in the UK now?? My wife has uncles living in Chelmsford and Bedford. We should start recommending Voom to them.

I think we Californians are just lazy about saying "Las Vegas" and "Los Angeles" the same way. "Los" should properly rhyme with "dose". "Las" should sound closer to "toss" or "boss". Do you agree?

Must be a new Kal I For Nia thing. I grew up there and always pronounced it as loss.
