Would be great to see data color-coded by region (NE states blue, Midwest orange, west purple, etc)

If you can point me in the direction of that data (which says which region a state is in) I can do that.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_of_the_United_States#Standard_Federal_Regions Wikipedia for accessibility. Could be simplified by combining pairs of adjacent regions to reduce noise, but really it’s just adding a subjective categorical piece of information in order to account for regional differences. Like the comment about Hawaii, I can imagine HI, AK, FL, and ME all have large cultural differences that may have an impact on the data.
