1075guy, where do your population numbers come from?

In doing an analysis against population, does it make sense to look at numbers by city or some other grouping? Most major cities have significant suburbs that would show up as different cities on the listing. For example, Woodbury, MN has 3 teams, and is about 5 minutes from downtown St. Paul. These suburbs typically have lower population numbers, but could contribute significantly to the number of teams around that city.

Given the data available to us, doing it might be best to do it by state.
Hmm true I have another spreadsheet of all my numbers I'll check through for errors like this and make another map (looking at the other errors people have pointed out). I got the places from blue alliance then totaled then manually, which is why I have some errors like that and Liberty, IN (sorry about that by the way).
