I was tracking until he started making density comparisons between Seattle and Vermont, that's a grapefruit and grape comparison.

Maybe a road-miles comparison for density would be a better measure of density? Washington has 294,000 Subarus from this source, and Vermont has 73,000, and Washington has 168,000 miles of road, while Vermont has 16,000. So that would mean that Washington has 1.75 Subarus per mile of road, while Vermont has 4.6 Subarus per road mile.

Thank you for typing this up and looking up the numbers and everything, this is exactly the direction where my mind furiously went.

Per capita is the most relevant metric anyway. And we aren’t tied with Seattle there, we beat them lol
