Feeling
lonely in Little Rock? Hearing too much “Boola” in Burlington? On a quest to
give a new meaning to the term "blue state," we mapped the density of Yale alumni
in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Connecticut, not surprisingly,
is the state most tightly packed with Elis, at 367 per 100,000 population. But
DC is even Bluer, with 538 alumni per 100,000. The lowest concentration is in
Mississippi, where only 4 people in 100,000 are Yalies. The national average is
40 per 100,000.

I noticed your map of the density of Yale alumni across the 50 states. Whilst interesting, as an alum living in England and about to move to the Netherlands, I am very curious about the numbers for international locations.
Yalies are an international bunch!
