From the article:
> Vermont has 11.3% Subaru ownership (the highest of any state in the country), among a population of 645,570, which means 72,949 total Subarus in the state.
> Washington state has just 3.8% Subaru ownership, but with a population of 7.739 million, that's still a total of 294,082.
> So Washington wins by the numbers game, but Vermont wins by percentage.
> Except.... What about Seattle?
> Subaru ownership in Seattle is a whopping 10.1%. With a population of 733,919 - that's a total of 74,125 Subarus in the city.
> Okay, so Seattle and Vermont are practically completely tied, by percentage ownership and by numbers. Everyone wins.
> Except... Seattle just feels like there are more, of course!
> Seattle covers a land area of 83.78 square miles, which is 884 Subarus per square mile. Vermont covers a land area of 9,623 square miles, which is just 7.5 Subarus per square mile.
> So if you see a car in Seattle or in Vermont, it's about equally likely to be a Subaru. But if you're in Seattle, you'll see vastly more Subarus - just because you see vastly more cars, overall. We win by a long shot on Subaru density.
