The Geography of Hate - Richard Florida - National - The Atlantic
Hate groups are most highly concentrated in the old South and the northern Plains states. Two states have by far the largest concentration of hate groups -- Montana with 13.8 groups per million people, and Mississippi with 13.7 per million. Arkansas (10.3), Wyoming (9.7), and Idaho (8.9) come in a distant third, fourth, and fifth. Hate groups are much less concentrated in the Northeast, Great Lakes, and the West Coast. Minnesota has the smallest concentration of hate groups, with 1.3 groups per million people.
There are also scatterplots at the link which correlate number of hate groups per capita by state with voting patterns in 2008 election for McCain and for Obama and also with religion.
