Florida also says the more openness to the region, the more creatives. He parallels the amount of gay people as an indicator of overall region creativity. He has some fascinating research. www.creativeclass.com btw, Hi Chris! I love your site brother. These pockets of creativity have everything to do with social interaction.

I never would have guessed that Greenville is growing that fast. What's doubly fascinating is the relativity of the data displayed on the map. Let's take my boyhood home of West Virginia. By the amount of red shown on the map and it's proximity to hotspots like Northern Virginia and Cincinnati, it looks like there should be creatives there (ot at least fertile ground). However, take the link that Rosa provided (thanks, Rosa) and WV ranks dead last in innovation. I understand what defines creatives and innovation may be different, but there seems to be a lot of discrepancy at play here. That’s fascinating, Deb.

Sadly, based on their criteria, I can understand why Hawaii ranked at 41 out of 50 (Alaska is at 25, and your new home state is at 14) Creativity for them was idea/innovation generation, and not the more artistic side of the equation.

Having moved from Cincinnati 3 years ago (after living there for 30 years), I have to admit I'm surprised it's so hot with creatives. There are supposed to be some concentrated "spiritual vortices" in that area, however, whatever that means. We moved to Greenville SC, which is apparently the 5th fastest growing metropolitan area in the country. It's all very interesting . . . ! Wow, Chris, I’m amazed at the picture.

Maybe we can petition Kevin to work up a version 2 with our 49th and 50th states? But what's your anecdotal evidence say, Rosa? Would you say the climate is conducive and attractive for creatives in Hawaii? Hawaii and Alaska seem to frequently get the shaft.

Maybe we were too hot to handle?!? I’m kinda bummed that Hawaii didn’t even make it into the picture …
