Never saw one of these that includes metro areas so I wanted to make one. I made this before these maps started blowing up on Reddit but didn't think to post.

Roughly grouped the lower 48 into 8 color groups:

Blue for the Northeast

Red for the South

Pink for Florida

Dark orange for Texas

Yellow-orange for the Southwest

Brown for the Midwest

Green for the West (Mormon is purple since I felt that it really was it's own thing)

Teal for the Northwest

I would love feedback! I'm opening to making new regions, getting rid of regions, changing boundaries, and adding new crossover regions. I'll take any suggestions and make an updated version.

I want to know the ultimate “top 5“ state in the USA

Feel free to rip this apart.

And yes, I’ve traveled

What really is (and is not) “The DMV”?

Is everything on the water “Tidewater”

Is there a difference between Baltimore City and Baltimore County?

To answer these questions and more, I made my own map of MD/DC/VA regions. Curious to hear your opinions!

[Note: I am not a native of any of these states/district, but I lived in VA for 4 years in my mid-20s and have lived MD for the last 21]

I love to rank things, so I’ve put some thought into how I would rank the 50 states from best to worst. I was also pretty curious about how that compared to other rankings from two additional sources with pretty robust methodologies (even though mine is of course vibe based haha). These sources are Geography King on YouTube (super fun nerdy channel) and the US News & World Report. I wanted to not only compare and contrast my list with both of theirs, but to see what our combined ranking would look like if we averaged the results of our lists together into a “master” list. Another fun wrinkle is that I think we fall into three different camps ideologically: progressive (me), centrist (Geography King) and center right (US News). So this puts somewhat of a constraint on the implicit “biases” of each list. I’d be interested in what you all think of these maps!

Ive been to most of the Midwest, Northeast Coast, Florida, but not far south or west. Most of these are based upon the places I've been to in these states, so in that way they are a little biased. The places i havent been to are just rose colored glasses. But i have my reasons for every answer
