A little off my usual post but interesting nonetheless, Prof. Dan Goldstein, London School of Economics, blogs at "Decision Science News" and today he featured an interesting mapping website called www.whosyourcity.com. One of the maps showed that the ratio of single men to single women is higher on the West Coast and lower on the East Coast.
The pivotal question Dan asks is what explains this disparity? I'm thinking it might be due to the ratio of ethnic groups such as African Americans where women dominate in numbers and many males are incarcerated or outside the traditional system (homeless, transient, illegal activity) and less likely to participate in a census. Just my guess!
