I'm not very well traveled and I've been to 3 of these states. Granted one is a neighboring state and another is a neighbor of that one. I'm really surprised at how low Alaska is on this list.

So less than 10% of "state map filler outers" have been to South Dakota? Bummer. Really owe it to yourselves to spend a bit of time at Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills. Seriously beautiful country, the Badlands are amazing, and some really cool caving as well.

Level 73

May 30, 2019

I was a bit surprised by SD being on this list as well, I thought Mount Rushmore was widely visited by Americans.

Level 74

May 30, 2019

It is extremely difficult for most of us to get to Mt. Rushmore. I believe the closest truly decent-sized airport is Minneapolis, which is an 8-hour drive away.

May 30, 2019

South Dakota campaigned to get Mount Rushmore put there precisely because there's no other reason to visit.

Level 53

May 30, 2019

Me too. We go there almost every year. There is a lot of fun touristy stuff to do around the area and it's not very expensive. But we also only live about 4 hours away so that helps.

I went to South Dakota while on a road trip to Yellowstone. We got to see Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands. It was definitely worth then time spent there.

I went to North Dakota once. It was just like South Dakota except without Mount Rushmore or the Badlands.

Level 65

Sep 1, 2023

You need to be ok with spending several days to drive there and back. And then when you do get there, it isn't as spectacular as some would have you believe it is. The best part is the scenery surrounding the landmark.

May 30, 2019

I'm really skeptical about a couple of these. Maine, Rhode island and Delaware are tiny and/or really out of the way. I've always heard people say I saw all the New England states in a single day. Maybe it's a matter of perception. To me visited means that you walked outside for a couple of hours, but some may think as long as my car or train went through it or my plane landed there it counts while others might say visited only happens after spending a couple of days. One thing that might skew numbers is foreign travelers. You can fly into New York get a car and hit about 15 states in a week. For someone that might never come back to the country that sounds a lot more appealing than flying into Houston driving the same distance and not hitting another state.

Level 68

May 30, 2019

Those state are also close to the most densely-populated area of the country, and they're small, which helps. Lots of people from Boston dip into the other New England states because they're easy to hit. Providence is a 45-minute train ride from Boston. When I lived in Boston, sometimes we'd take the train to Providence just to do something new. Ditto New Hampshire. You've got the skiing in Vermont. Leafpeeping in Maine. People from New York and New Jersey come up with ease too. That area is so tiny that you can drive from anywhere. Compare that to the states on this list, all of which are sparsely populated, enormous (i.e., it's unlikely you'll just pop into and out of one), and whose biggest cities are not really driving distance from any population centers. It's a much bigger commitment to get to them, so fewer people make the effort.

I read leafpeeing... thought wow people go especially to a state for that? Still dont know what it is though..

Level 60

Leafpeeping is when people go to see the fall foliage when the leaves turn all sorts of colors. Maine has a high trees density so people go up to see the colors.

Level 72

May 30, 2019

Seems pretty accurate. I've been to all but 10 states, and 7 of those are in this list.

@idontkn1: Maine, Rhode Island, and Delaware are all close to major metropolitan areas, so get a lot of visitors. Maine is the most out of the way, but it still isn't too far from Boston and has Acadia National Park, which is the 7th most visited national park in the country. Rhode Island is an hour or so from Boston, and you have to pass through Delaware to get from Baltimore/DC to Philadelphia/NYC, so almost anyone who lives in any of those cities passes through Delaware pretty regularly.

Genuine question, not trying to be rude. But for those of you who live in these states, why? These all fit the bill of states that if you can leave, you do. But surely that isn't everyone?

I'm from Pennsylvania, and other than the two major cities everybody I know just wants to leave. And PA certainly has more to do than North Dakota or Mississippi. Looking for some insight.

Level 76

Perhaps because they don't subscribe to the "if you can leave, you do" mentality?

Some people prefer the attractions outside cities. Alaska, Idaho, and North Dakota in particular have strong economies, beautiful natural landscapes, and abundant recreation opportunities.

Level 36

May 31, 2019

There are plenty of dive bars to get black out drunk at 8am in any town in north dakota if the population is over 10,000 (there are a few of them and I made a quiz about it), so there is that to do. You're not rude though, I left because, yes, I could and did. Many are flocking there because of jobs though which encouraged me to leave even more. There is much good there to be fair, but I like the travel lifestyle.

Alabama is a huge tourist destination??

Jokes aside, it's too bad that states like Montana and Alaska are on here. Neither of them get a lot of publicity, but I've heard both places are beautiful and they've both been on my bucket list. I'm guessing remoteness is probably a factor working against them though.

Level 96

Sep 1, 2021

Only two states I haven't been to are the top two on this list. The only circumstance I can envision for visiting the top one would be to go to the national park there - I'm into the national parks and have visited over 40 of them. The second on the list is on my bucket list for a lot of reasons so someday soon . . .

Level 96

Sep 1, 2021

As far as doing a country one is concerned, as some folks have suggested, I would guess that very few folks here except for the intrepid travelers like kalba have been to more than a few dozen of them, so there would be 170-180 countries that tie for the top position in terms of fewest visits. W/r to the converse, I believe there is a "Most Visited Countries by Jetpunkers" quiz already.

Level 98

Sep 1, 2021

I have been to none of these states, so getting them all was relatively easy. The only one I got stumped on was Mississippi. Great quiz!

Level 86

Sep 1, 2021

To some of the comments... the quiz does not say that people are going there as tourists or to specifically visit the state - it's based on how people filled out the map on their profile.

I, for instance, have driven coast-to-coast, and some of the states I've listed that I have "been to" were only as long as it took to drive through to my actual destination.

For instance, Oklahoma... I've been to Oklahoma maybe a total of 2 hours, driving the 1 hour diagonal through the panhandle on 2 different road trips.

I've been to all 50 states - have any other quizzers done that? Dan, since you can access the states-visited info for everyone, are you able to do a graph of the % of quizzers who have visited each number of states? Finally, do the percentages in this quiz include those who haven't visited any states at all?

Level ∞

Sep 3, 2021

In response to your questions.

1) Yes, it is virtually certain that other users have been to all 50 states, although 50 is very impressive for a non-American. I've been to 46 personally.

2) The % who've been to 50 will certainly be inflated by people who enter all 50 states as a gag.

3) Yes, the percentages in this quiz include those who haven't visited any states at all.

Level 90

Not a blue state among 'em. Does this lack of interaction possibly explain the lower tolerance prevalent in the red states?

Level 96

Sep 12, 2021

Maybe the reverse - maybe residents of blue states have little tolerance for visiting red states. Or maybe who cares since maybe a lot of us visit quiz sites to get away from the same old, same old tired red state/blue state political crap.

Level 71

Sep 12, 2021

It's actually fairly non-partisan I think, an example of correlation not causation. Sparsely populated, rural states like the ones on this list tend to be Republican. Accessing many of these places can be inconvenient, as they don't have major cities with direct flights. This is compounded by the fact that these states aren't very close to other very populous states, which makes it also makes it difficult to drive to them. You can contrast this with West Virginia and Kentucky, which are also rural but are also close to larger population centers like Pennsylvania and Illinois, making them somewhat more frequent stopping points on car trips.

TL;DR: I think it relates to demographics and geography, not policy. (Also, for the record, I think there's plenty to still see/do in many of these states, it's just a matter of inconvenience.)

Level ∞

Aug 6, 2023

When a correlation exists you need to figure out whether:

1) A causes B

2) B causes A

3) C causes both A in B

In this case, the answer is clearly C. Rural areas tend to vote Republican and are also less likely to have major tourist attractions and large airports.

surprised less people have been to Arkansas and Mississippi than Hawaii, i know it's a popular tourist destination but it's also very far away

Level 88

Jan 23, 2023

This surprised me a bit as well. I guessed Hawaii pretty early in this quiz just due to the sheer distance and cost involved in getting there, plus no one is driving through Hawaii to get to another state. In hindsight, it checks out that geography nerds like to travel!
