Some of these statistics can be misleading. Though 2 of the 'best' are in MD, it implies that you don't have to drive around the Beltway to get to other places. Sure, they've got 2 nice pinpricks on a map, but those are submerged in an entire state (plus DC) filled with the corruption that allows them to exist. Here's a statistic they missed: "most lawyers per capita".

Then, there's Florida, where "upstanding citizen" means not cutting the coke more than 50-50 with Republican dandruff.
