pretty accurate for my area but i'd split the gulf coast on opposing sides of houston, and wrap some of the eastern texas cities into that green group. northern arkansas needs some work

i'm not sure the great lakes region should really be that large, and it certainly shouldn't extend all the way to kansas city.

The Great Lakes region was much bigger than I expected, but I don't really know the region well enough or the methods used to generate these groupings to really contest it. I guess I also expected a bit more overlap for the Eastern US.

Why would you split the Gulf Coast region?

south texas is more about mexico than the gulf. it really has nothing in common with louisiana except maybe oil refineries.

i guess houston isn't really a good dividing line for that, though.

Oh, I see.
