While some states have large numbers of qualifiers on a regular basis.    It does seem as it Utah, Washington, and Colorado particularly have been making major strides in the last several year.

Here is a possibly a better indicator, qualifiers/million residents:

 

1. Utah - 4.0

2. Iowa - 3.9

3. Pennsylvania - 3.8

4. Delaware - 3.3

5. Montana - 3

6. New Jersey - 2.7

7. Idaho - 2.6

8. Colorado - 2.4

9. New Hampshire - 2.3

10. Ohio - 2.1

11. Oklahoma - 1.9

12. Michigan, Kansas - 1.8

14. Vermont, Oregon - 1.6

16. Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota - 1.5

19. Alaska - 1.4

20. New York, Washington - 1.3

22.  South Dakota - 1.2

23. <b>Indiana</b>, West Virginia - 1.1

25. Maryland - 1

26. Rhode Island, Illinois, Wisconsin - 0.9

29. Tennessee - 0.8

30. Nevada - 0.7

31. Arizona, California - 0.6

33. North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, New Mexico - 0.5

37. Florida - 0.4

38. Massachusetts - 0.3

39. Louisiana - 0.2

 

There are 3 similarly sized states to us, Massachusetts, Arizona, and Tennessee, and we did qualify more than them. It's still a surprise to me that Texas, the second largest state, had no qualifiers.
