Man, that thing is awesome. It's cool looking at all the demographics and how one county is so one-sided while the county right next door is diverse.

I like being able to zoom in on a city and actually seeing the demographics for particular sectors. There's lots of info detailed.

No. Liberty County (Chester is the county seat) seems unremarkable. It had a slight population growth instead of a decline like the surrounding counties, but that isn't unusual. It is almost all white, but that isn't unusual for that part of the state.

Did you notice something unusual?

Lived for years in Hill County

considering i have lived in several different states and a good chunk of my life in southern California i do see it as odd that the whole county is 98% white and 1% multiracial. in this day and age i would have thought with many people working from home via the internet and moving away from the big cities that there would be a much larger mixture of people all across the US.


ive been to Montana on a fishing trip and thought it was one of the most amazingly beautiful states i have seen. if i worked from home i would live there.

maybe i should not have used Liberty Montana as a reference. i find it odd because its not what im used to.

i could spend hours looking into different states i wish the breakdown was a little more detailed. like home owners to renter. and male to female. median home prices. average yearly income. sorry i find this info very interesting.

The only "internet" in that part of the state is dialup modem. No DSL, no FiOS, no cable. It is wheat country and very little else.

Yes, those places still exist; many of them.

what does this have to do with running an internet based Business? could be done by dial up, wireless, Sattelite. the majority of the business could be anywhere and dropshipped by you via any type of connection. isnt that the great thing about them?
