PNW has 0.001237 teams per Sq. Mile
NE has 0.003302 teams per Sq Mile
Indiana has 0.01758 teams per Sq Mile
Texas will have 0.00091139 teams per Sq Mile

Go Texas.

Texas had 132 teams in 2014, and I struggle to see that doubling in two years.

This puts Texas (268,820 square miles) at 0.0005 teams/mi2 (5 x 10-4).

PNW has twice this much, NE and MAR about 6x, FiM about 10x, and Indiana has about 35x as much density (scientific notation is your friend here). So Indiana is certainly suited to the model when speaking in terms of density.

MN, for comparison, at 186 teams is at 0.002 teams/mi2 (2 x 10-3), so 4x Texas, but still trailing behind most other districts. More importantly, we're trailing behind in volunteers and infrastructure, so we'll be a bit late to the party...
