Number of children per family by state

I'm going to assume that children born through incest are not counted here.

Interesting how West Virginia is (besides Florida?) the lowest.  Not quite the stereotype attributed to it.

Hence my comment.

Let's diverge a little:

Dropout Rate by State:

Indiana and Arizona?  Those aren't the states I'd expect to be the two worst in this category, to say the least.

Percent of High School Graduates by State:



**Note**: The first map depicting dropout rates reflect students who voluntarily withdraw themselves. This map reflects the total number of students who remain in school and go on to graduate, so with this, it is able for a state to have both a higher than average graduation and dropout rate.

Ah, Mississippi and West Virginia.  Now we're back to where I expected things to be.

LOL.

Percent of Population with Bachelor's Degree by State:



Lowest: WV (14.8%)
Highest: DC (39.1%)

I'm surprised Washington isn't darker red there.  Must be those jerks in Eastern Washington pulling everyone else down...
