I Found the Most UNBALANCED US State

The US is made up of 50 individual states, each of which has their own distinct borders. But which state is the least balanced? Most Balanced? 17th most balanced? This video contains all of that useless information you need! Also, sorry for the mic glitching occasionally, I have no idea why it does that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: Data and map services provided courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Census Bureau.

USGS, The National Map: Used for the area and coordinate data Link: https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ How I got the accuracy score: Divided the state exactly in half based on longitude data from USGS, then manually calculated the area of the smaller half, divided that by the area of the state provided by the US Census Bureau to get the percentage of the state in that area. Then multiplied it by 2. https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/col... Colorado 697 Sides: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles... Muller-Lyer Illusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BC...
