    If you are wondering what that red spot in Wyoming ans adjacent green in Idaho is, they are the Teton counties (one on each state).

      Nah, Teton County is easy to understand although I do question how they have a higher percentage than Albany County. What I’m really wondering about though is that orange county in South Western Colorado. WTF is that about?

        San Miguel County. There isn’t too much there, but it does have Telluride, a very posh ski town. If I had to guess, I would say the less-educated staff (hotel housekeeping, restaurant servers, lift operators, etc) are only there seasonally but business owners/managers and maybe some remote workers are there permanently, skewing things a bit?

        I would LOVE to see a better answer than mine!

          I’m pretty sure this is the answer. That county is super sparsely populated, outside of Telluride. Telluride is a mini Aspen, so is populated by wealthy (and thus usually educated) people.
