Now there are also other factors, like local politics, local culture, like a neohippy stoner dude will do okay in Denver, Seattle, Portland or Austin even though men outnumber women in those places, because that's a big chunk of the local culture and that culture leans female.

I really wish this map could have been blown up and/or more interactive. Raleigh/Durham in particular I cannot make heads or tails of and that would be of obvious importance.
