The Most and Least “American” States . . . Based on Eagles, Guns, and Fast Food

I’m not sure what criteria I would use to rank how “American” each state is . . . but this ain’t bad.

A real estate website called Estately.com ranked all 50 states on how “American” they are, and this is the criteria they used . . .

The number of bald eagles, Olympians who won gold medals, astronauts and professional baseball players born there, fast food places per capita, gun ownership rates, Facebook users who “like” America, and Google searches for “Bin Laden dead.”

And based on all that, the most American state is . . . Iowa.

The rest of the top 10 are: Ohio . . . West Virginia . . . Alabama . . . South Dakota . . . Illinois . . . Oklahoma . . . Arkansas . . . Missouri . . . and Mississippi.

Just outside the top 10 at number 14 is Tennessee… We ranked highest in Fast Food and Firearms.

The least American state is Nevada. Even though it has the most fast food places per capita, it has the fewest astronauts and the third-fewest bald eagles and baseball players.

The rest of the 10 least American states are: Arizona . . . Hawaii . . . Utah . . . Rhode Island . . . Oregon . . . Connecticut . . . California . . . Washington . . . and Alaska.
