My  brother lives in Dahlonega, Lumpkin County, Georgia.  The map Georgia map surprises me Atlanta is not a hotspot.  Atlanta dominates the population of the State.  Southwest Georgia has a much higher concentration.  Georgia, unlike Pennsylvania, has a large population of rural African Americans. 

This just underscores how hard it is to make sense out of absolute numbers, or more to the point, numerators without denominators.    At least some of the charts of absolute numbers (as long as they are not renormalized from situation to situation) provide a visual estimation of "slope".
