I think Teoco is a little confused about where South America is.

That one was bad...
But honest
Well, if you put it that way. But NJ has the largest autism rates in the country which includes my son so that's my background
I thought that SF had the highest rates.
Yes, since it is a larger state/city while NJ is as below:
https://www.autismnj.org/prevalence-ratesRates generally have nothing to do with total geographic size or amount... it's typically an amount per number of people.
So it doesn't matter if a city has 100 people or 1000000000... 1 of 49 is the same rate in both cases.
There may be a correlation due to other factors that occur because of size.

Okay, if you say so.

That's just how it is. It's the exact same way with crime or murder rates in cities.
Example:
- In Baltimore 55.4 people are murdered out of every 100,000 people.
- Baltimore population: 621,252
- In Cincinnati 22.1 people are murdered out of every 100,000 people.
- Cincinnati population: 298,478
- In Chicago 23.8 people are murdered out of every 100,000 people.
- Chicago population: 2,728,695
- In Houston 13.3 people are murdered out of every 100,000 people.
- Houston population: 2,275,221
See what matters is NOT the total population, as you can see, that has literally nothing to do with the murder rate. You cannot say a city with 3 million population has a higher or lower murder rate than a city with less or with more people.
- In Baltimore 55.4 people are murdered out of every 100,000 people.

Why? Less than 14% of the U.S. population speaks spanish... and only 3 countries in the world don't use the Metric system.

I could see switching to the Metric system... but I also like being different, ha ha.
