POPULATION
I would rather live in a larger city than out in the middle of nowhere. State
population just depends on the state itself, there is no one area on the map that is
more populated than another.

VENOMOUS SPIDERS
I prefer to live somewhere where there arent any venomous spiders. There isnt
any major geographical pattern as to where they are located, but quite a few states
on the East coast have a very low number.
