Of the X states you have been in, in how many of them were you a social guest in a resident's private living quarters. Even if just a step in the door, not for conducting business.
I don't have any agenda, just wondering. I'm not sociable, rarely know neighbors. hang with few friends. My ratio is about half.
Wow, really making me think about this one. I might be short by a few since this is off the top of my head.

Illinois: grew up here so obviously a lot of friends' houses

Maryland: have faint memories of visiting one of my dad's old coworkers who had moved to Baltimore, at the age of 4-5. Remember pressing all the buttons on the elevator
New York: mom's parents lived on Long Island before they passed away (never met the rest of her family, she was not close to them)
Ohio: college, so a couple house parties (wasn't really into that stuff but tried a couple) and friends' dorms

Virginia: did a coding bootcamp that had company housing, went to a friend's room there once if that counts
Nevada: was there for a year, made some friends, went inside a couple of their places
Washington: was there for 3 years, went inside many friends' places
Oregon: ...have visited a number of friends in Portland, but I think the only person I've actually been inside the apartment of was someone I knew in Eugene a few years ago, who was a UO student at the time. Also briefly stepped inside a guy's house in Portland last year, picking up a folding bike off of Craigslist (yes, I drove 3 hours in my car to pick up a bike lol. Worth it).
California: have been here a few weeks, have been inside one group house so far. Also have an old HS friend whose family moved to the Bay Area after he graduated, I've visited his place here on a previous visit. Then when I was 13, we visited a (late) family friend in Sonoma
