I've visited California a couple of times in my life and I realized that the state has so many strip mall where there is strip mall after strip mall. It just seems to repeat itself. I live in New Jersey and there are many businesses that have their own building, but we have a lot of strip malls. The good strip malls are what make some of NJ's neighborhoods great for children under 17 who cannot drive on their own yet. There are some crappy strip malls in NJ with not so great places. California has an extremely high population that so many people own business and obviously strip malls are dense. Imagine how much land would be eaten up if you took apart every strip mall in California and turn every business into their own building. California has the most strip malls ever in my opinion.
California, Texas and Florida due to the sheer size of those states and the number of metro areas with sprawling suburbs. New Jersey probably has the greatest density of strip malls.
Probably sunbelt states or states that have had high population growth starting in the 80s. Florida, Texas, Arizona, California. . They all have that sunbelt suburbia development, which is strip mall friendly, unlike the northeast, which already was largely developed by the time the concept of a strip mall became ubiquitous. Tho, the northeast does have it's fair share of strip malls too a la DC suburbs
Florida, hands down. They can't mow down trees fast enough here in the Orlando area to keep with the "demand" of yet another strip mall soon to be occupied by such exclusive tenants as a nail salon, Subway, wireless phone store, check cashing store and if lucky a pizza delivery chain.
California, Texas, Florida,. . . in that order. This is one of those things that is difficult, yet not impossible to approximate. I wouldn't even begin to know how though.
