Invested crimes?

Investigated crimes, maybe?

Rhode Island is at the bottom because if you start a business there, you only have one other person in the state to sell to. 
Met some guys at a convention a few years ago from Rhode Island.  As a joke, I told them our county in Texas was bigger than their state.  We laughed while I looked it up on my phone and sure enough my county is larger than their entire state.  Now that I think of it, I'm curious if there is just one big county for RI and other small states or do they really split up the states into counties or whatever is equivalent up in Yankee Land.

Yes, counties.  Only Louisiana (I think) does not have counties (parishes instead).

I never thought about it, but looking it up, the Wiki Overlord says Rhode Island has five counties.  Delaware has fewer, with three.

Georgia has 159, which I think makes our counties the smallest on average.  Some have weird shapes, like the one in which I reside.

It used to be two counties.

Texas has 254 counties.  California has 58, while being the third largest by area.  CA's counties must be huge.

Eyeballing is a terrible way to evaluate area, but, eyeballing it, it looks like Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island could all fit into California's San Bernadino county.

Yes, some are absolutely massive... And absolutely empty ;-) 

According to Wikipedia:

The top 10 of 58 are all over 1M residents. 

The bottom 10 of 58 are all 27,009 residents or fewer...

See, I told you eyeballing area is worthless.

Largest counties:

San Bernadino (CA) - 20,105 sq. miles

Brewster (TX) - 6,192 sq. miles



I guess everything is not bigger in Texas.

There are a couple that are absolutely Titanic

Counties always make me chuckle a little bit because I used to work in a space where things were sometimes managed by county, and I had to consistently explain to people that nobody knows how many counties are in their state offhand, and the wide population differences mean you have to take a closer look whenever you’re talking about them.
