Nevada threw me off. I went through the more populous states and got the rest easily.

Hahaha leave my man Kalbahamut alone he's just proud of his worldliness...

But if any kind of political dispute shows up in any comments section, you bet your ass Kalbahamut is stopping by to drop his worldly wisdom on the rest of us.

In Pennsylvania, I have to say the number is pretty skewed. I know that a lot of the population is going to be located in Philly + suburbs and their surrounding cities. Eastern Pennsylvania has many more Jews than Western PA, especially with a higher percentage in suburban and urban areas.

I also think the number is heavily inflated. Living right outside of Philly in the suburbs, there are not many Jews left in my area. Some, but not enough to get above 1.5%ish. Most are moving to the more urban areas.

The place I live in Central Pennsylvania (State College) has a decent Jewish population. Not huge, but I'd say 2-3%.
