Based on Iowa; its group checked in Pennsylvania. Compared with the 387 US metro areas.

How to read this

Each score: how closely Lawrence’s people match the Iowa counties where that drink’s sales make up a bigger share of spirits sales. Not a sales figure.

Each row ranks Lawrence among 387 metros for one category. It does not compare categories with each other.

Beside each category is the Census measure the model leans on most for it here.

Each category’s standing comes from a model fitted to Iowa county sales on public Census measures only, checked in Pennsylvania for its group; only the 8 spirits groups and the 24 subcategories that passed are ranked.

An association between places, not a cause or a sales forecast.

The whole book: 32 ranked categories

Lawrence is unlike any Iowa county on several measures; read the order as a rough guide.
