blinkymach12on Stack Overflow User Survey Results

The "Where do developers live?" chart wasn't particularly satisfying[1], so I thought it would be interesting to look at developer population in proportion to the total population reported by the 2010 census[2].

After doing so, Washington and Massachusetts come out on top. California is #6.

Full details in this google spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ak1kLptmHteHdEV...

Briefly:

Washington

  2.15% of total population, but 5.3% of developer population. Ratio of 2.47

Massachusetts

  2.04% of total population, but 4.7% of developer population.  Ratio of 2.3

...

California

  11.91% of total population, but 14.9% of developer population. Ratio of 1.25

...

I threw the spreadsheet together somewhat hastily, so apologies in advance if you catch a typo.
