For those of you wondering if New York's two isolated groups have an appreciable performance gap, I did some rudimentary calculations. All OPR values were the maximum OPR values for this year, taken from Ed Law's spreadsheet.

Upstate Mean Max OPR: 25.1
Downstate Mean Max OPR: 15.9

Attached is a plot of the OPR distributions for each region. The distributions are shaped similarly, but upstate appears to have a +10 OPR advantage vs downstate.
