I had thought that state populations had something to do with the number of hate groups. I figured more people, more hate. But it doesn't seem to work that way. Appears to be the opposite (see states below in bold).
.
Note that New York has approx. 9 mil more people than Michigan, yet both harbor the same number of hate groups.
.
Compare New York and Florida - Florida having around 1 mil fewer people than New York, but 23 more hate groups.
.
And look at S. Carolina! Yikes!
.
California's population is 36,457,549 -- with 80 hate groups
Texas' pop 23,507,783 -- 67 (a hefty # for the pop!)
New York's pop 19,306,183 -- 26
Florida's pop 18,089,888 -- 49 (Yow!)
Illinois pop 12,831,970 -- 23
Ohio's pop 11,478,006 -- 28
Michigan's pop 10,095,643 -- 26
Georgia's pop 9,363,941 -- 42
New Jersey pop 8,724,560 -- 34
Tennessee pop 6,038,803 -- 38
S. Carolina pop 4,321,249 -- 45

We don't know how big these hate groups are in each state. A group could be as small as 3 people -- or one family - calling themselves XXX or KKK. Nonetheless, that's 3 too many IMO.
