This isn't exactly svg, but I had a USA map in swf. You can zoom into it with the web browser flash plug in (right click then click zoom in). You can view it at http://users.wpi.edu/~piotrm/first/maps/usa.swf. There are still a few teams missing as I couldn't find their locations and/or was confused by their location:

Code:
 25: North Brunswick, NJ, USA
 41: Warren, NJ, USA
 279: Ottawa Lake, MI, USA
 521: Waterford, CT, USA
 651: Mar Lin, PA, USA
 816: West Hampton, NJ, USA
 1138: West Hills, CA, USA
 1288: Saint Petersburg, MO, USA
Also, I colored the states so that those with a high number of teams per population ratio are green and those with a low team number per population ratio are red. The top five states are:

Code:
 1. New Hampshire ( about 15 teams per million people )
 2. North Dakota ( about 14 teams per million people )
 3. South Dakota ( about 13 teams per million people )
 4. Michigan ( about 9 teams per million people )
 5. Connecticut ( about 8 teams per million people )
note: The teams I couldn't place on the map still counted towards the team number per population ratio. The population figures I had were the 2003 ones from http://www.census.gov/statab/www/part6.html.
