An unknown visitor to Twelve Mile Circle posed that question in a recent search query. I didn&#8217;t learn why they wanted to know because I didn&#8217;t have a means to contact the person to ask. Nonetheless it seemed like an interesting query and I&#8217;d never considered it before. Maybe I should take a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I only examined the United States because I could find the data easily, and I&#8217;m too lazy to look for more. Perhaps I&#8217;ll search more broadly some other day. For now however, let&#8217;s stick to the U.S. where women outnumbered men by about 5.2 million during the 2010 Census. There were 0.97 men to every woman for a bunch of different reasons. For instance, men did stupid things and managed to kill themselves accidentally at greater rates than women. Sometimes I wonder how I survived my teen years, as an example. They also lived fewer years on average, just as a matter of physiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The national ratio shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone. However, a few places actually had more men than women, sometimes a lot more. I found a number of sources that I could consult including the <a href=\"https:\/\/overflow.solutions\/special-projects\/the-ratio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Overflow Data<\/a> website (with 2014 Census estimates). The results took me to some unexpected places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prison Counties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mirsasha\/1306398853\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/1309\/1306398853_4b248078c8_b.jpg\" alt=\"Eden Fall Fest. Photo by mirasha; (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The top counties, the ones with the highest ratio of men, seemed rather counterintuitive to me. Why, for example did Concho County, Texas have 2.32 times more men than women? It didn&#8217;t seem any more or less of a testosterone magnet than any other counties nearby. Then I noticed a comment on the Overflow Data website that I mentioned earlier. Concho didn&#8217;t have a lot of people living there so an anomaly could skew the ratio without a lot of effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corecivic.com\/facilities\/eden-detention-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eden Detention Center<\/a> &#8212; named for the largest town in Concho &#8212; came into consideration (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/wPfyyo7gR1gfB8rf6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). It housed 1,400 men in a low security prison facility run by the Corrections Corporation of America on behalf of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Half of the men enumerated in the Concho County census were serving time behind bars, incarcerated. Take those guys out of consideration and the ratio of men to women in Concho practically converged. Also, was I the only person who thought that Eden might be a terribly misleading name for a prison?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same situation existed in Crowley County, Colorado, with 2.31 men for every woman. Crowley held the title for the highest ratio of men during the 2010 Census although it fell to second place with the 2014 estimate. It also contained a Corrections Corporation of America facility, this one housing medium security prisoners through a contract with the state of Colorado. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corecivic.com\/facilities\/crowley-county-correctional-facility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crowley County Correctional Facility<\/a> made room for about 1,800 prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greensville County had the highest ratio of men to women in my home state of Virginia, at 1.58. Once again, a prison bore responsibility. The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Greensville_Correctional_Center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Greensville Correctional Center<\/a> was run by the Virginia Department of Corrections. This maximum security prison also housed the state&#8217;s Death Row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alaska<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jstephenconn\/4862014888\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4114\/4862014888_7ff0bf6b23_b.jpg\" alt=\"Fishing Boats in the Harbor. Photo by J. Stephen Conn; (CC BY-NC 2.0)\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Sand Point, Alaska<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Alaska seemed the obvious choice to me, where more men would live than women. It didn&#8217;t disappoint either. The Aleutians East Borough and Aleutians West Census Area came in right behind Concho and Crowley. Aleutians East registered 2.24 men to women and Aleutians West hit 2.01. The economy of the Aleutians depended on fishing in some of the most rugged waters of the world, the Bering Sea. One of its biggest towns, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sand_Point,_Alaska#Fishing_industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sand Point<\/a>, had a thousand residents and a harbor that held 150 boats (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/RFjQsmTazvb5gNMM6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). That implied a lot of manly men heading out to sea every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aleutians attracted burly characters like those on <a href=\"https:\/\/go.discovery.com\/tv-shows\/deadliest-catch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deadliest Catch<\/a>; adventurous men attracted to the mystique of the Last Frontier. One woman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecut.com\/2016\/04\/what-i-learned-about-dating-in-alaska.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">described the situation<\/a> vividly, saying &#8220;<em>I once spent the better part of a year working in a fishing village in the Aleutian Islands, and the men of the Alaskan bush country were as surly as werewolves<\/em>.&#8221; Long ago it became clich\u00e9 to describe Alaska&#8217;s overabundance of men with a simple aphorism: &#8220;The odds are good but the goods are odd.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A funny thing began to happen in recent years, however. The ratio started to normalize. Sure, Alaska still contained a higher ratio of men to women than any other state in the nation although the imbalance fell to 1.08 in the latest Census. A crazy ratio still existed in the Aleutian Islands but the next borough on the list barely cracked the Top 50. The State of Alaska examined the situation and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">issued a report<\/span> [<em>link no longer available<\/em>]. It noted that an even split existed in Sitka, and men barely outnumbered women in Skagway, Haines, Anchorage and Juneau. Those were major population centers. This foreshadowed continuing convergence of the ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boomtown Counties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lindseygee\/5894614162\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/6042\/5894614162_a82a72d1f7_b.jpg\" alt=\"Oil Rig. Photo by Lindsey G; (CC BY 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought boomtowns might score high too, and they did, although not as high as I expected. I figured Williams County, North Dakota might serve as a solid proxy. That&#8217;s the location of Williston (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/zLMbqPMBBHbLm1yg6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>), at the epicenter of oil extraction in the Bakken formation. The population of Williams County increased by more than 50% between the 2010 Census and the 2015 estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those dirty, difficult oilfield jobs attracted lots of men. They came for high wages under dangerous situations and brutal winters. It also created an oddly skewed economy where the median annual income for men hit $50,000 and women made only half as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, there were &#8220;only&#8221; 1.19 men to women. That surprised me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where does the highest ratio of men live?
