Top 10 Hybrid States and Top 10 Hybrid Metro Areas in 2005

[Tempus]

I've seen the Top Ten list for States, but this one also includes Metro Areas.

Anyone want to sort them per-capita?

Texas #3??????

surely that must be a mistake!

[DaveinOlyWA]

texas # 3 is not a surprise. they rank 3rd in population also.

Over one Prius in four in CA. Outstanding.

Texans are smarter than they get credit for.

With a handful of notable exceptions.

I'm really confused by these stats. How can there be more registrations in the New York Metro area than there are in the entire state of New York. Did the Metro area secede from the state somehow?

When I looked at the data, I took the 5% to be of the
cars in the NYC area.
If there are a million cars in NY state (not an actual figure) and
there are 100 000 cars in NYC (same applies), then five percent
of 100 000 will never be bigger than four percent of a million.
That's my thought on that.

BTW, it's kick ass to know that Texas isn't totally composed
of a bunch of Republican-party voting fools. Of course, some
of them are Democratic-party voting fools.

Of course, it's not surprising that Dallas didn't make the list
of metropolitan areas with a hybrid population. I think we'd
top the list for Hummer population though.
It feels like I'm flipping off Hummers every-!@#$%-day.
Sometimes if I'm lucky, the f!@#$% and I will be at the
red light. Then I get to bring out the protracted finger.

I'm guessing that parts of NJ and CT were probably included in the Metro area. Note that in this map....Newark and Greenwich are both shown.Google Maps NYC NJ is just a bridge away from NYC.

Just like the DC metro includes Northern Virginia, and MD.

I can definitely attest to the concentration of the Prius in VA. My office parking lot is filled with them...and last night on I-66 on my way to a friend's...I was part of a Prius caravan. For a while, I was following a Black Prius, and being followed by a Black Prius. And then a Silver got in front of me...I swear they just wanted to join the row.

Using 2003 state populations and drawing a relationship between % of Hybrids and % of population, based on my crude calculations, the top 10 in terms of per capita Hybrid ownership works out to be:

CA
TX
NY
FL
IL
PA
MA
VA
WA
MD

Thanks for clearing that up. I just focused on the chart which said Metro Market which I interpreted as being Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island. If I had focused on Metro Area I might have realized that "Area" would also encompass NJ and CT... comonly refered to here as the tri-state area.

I sure see a lot of Prius everyday here (Honolulu). The other night we went to my daughter's band concert and there were three other Prius parked on campus, all silver like mine.
