I Love Statistics

I frequently peruse the stats at the Pew center and I found a few that are not really shocking but eye opening.
Here's a set of three stats:
1. How religious a state is
2. Levels of poverty per state
3. Teen pregnancy per state
States like Mississippi are a trifecta in that they have high religious beliefs, high poverty, and high teen pregnancy. On the other end of the spectrum are Vermont and New Hampshire; low in all three categories. It's also interesting that states with the most restrictive sex education tend to have the highest rates of teen pregnancy...
