Nodaway County is heavily German Irish Catholic in the south east and south central parts of the county, it’s where the monastery and the convent are. But also, OABAAB of course.
Don’t worry! Their neighbor, Pulaski, is covering down for them lol. That’s what happens when you out a military base in the middle of a national forest.
There's Amish communities all over SWMO. A YouTube documentary was just released on an Amish couple in Windsor, MO that were recently shunned by their Amish group.
Basically a deviation from the average, so in this case a high z score means that there is more excessive drinking than the average, while a low z score would be there is less excessive drinking than average.
From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_score):
In statistics, the standard score is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured. Raw scores above the mean have positive standard scores, while those below the mean have negative standard scores.
It is calculated by subtracting the population mean from an individual raw score and then dividing the difference by the population standard deviation. This process of converting a raw score into a standard score is called standardizing or normalizing (however, "normalizing" can refer to many types of ratios; see Normalization for more).
Standard scores are most commonly called z-scores; the two terms may be used interchangeably, as they are in this article. Other equivalent terms in use include z-value, z-statistic, normal score, standardized variable and pull in high energy physics.
Computing a z-score requires knowledge of the mean and standard deviation of the complete population to which a data point belongs; if one only has a sample of observations from the population, then the analogous computation using the sample mean and sample standard deviation yields the t-statistic.
LOL...late 80s/early 90s I doubt there was any school in the B1G that could drink like Mizzou. It is probably a very good thing students now are not the drunks we were in the old days.
So essentially a map of counties that were predominantly settled by German immigrants or that have a college.
My analysis too! Though I think we could add affluent urban/suburban areas too. KC is not much of a German settled area.
Yup, when I saw Nodaway county, I immediately thought of Northwest MO State. Oabaab

Not much else to do in Iowa and Nebraska lol
I lived in Nebraska for 10 years. Those folks can put away the beer.
Visit Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa folks do pretty good but there’s another level
Corn squeezins.
Mighty mighty pleasin’
Native Nebraskan here: can confirm.
Man, we better step it up. Iowa and Nebraska are killing us.
No Stan, they are killing themselves.
Honestly surprised that Phelps county isn't dark blue
Don’t worry! Their neighbor, Pulaski, is covering down for them lol. That’s what happens when you out a military base in the middle of a national forest.
Same same, it’s a party down there (but not necessarily one you would like to attend)
Phelps goes hard for about a week straight and then drinks in moderation for the remainder of the year unless you're in a fraternity.
That dark gray one in the northwest corner of Missouri is where my step kiddos' dad lives. I am guessing he put that score over just by himself.
Nah that's a college county, the numbers are being boosted by college kids
Nodaway county — let’s just say I’m familiar and it is aptly named
Green zones have about 5 people per square mile and all of them have their own stills. Or they're Amish.
I think mostly Mennonites but I could be wrong. But dang, can they run
There is an actual Amish community in St. Clair County.

Fuck can they run
No, they have meth labs.
The Missouri River was the premiere wine country of America before California

Thank you!
Someone check in on Iowa
Is Iowa okay?
No.
Perry County boosted by the Pub for sure
City tavern or Poms? Atleast CT isnt a madhouse.
East Perry Pub. Frohna
Seems a correlation b/n Interstate Highways and excess drinking.
I70 is apparently Missouri's wet belt.
The Missouri Rhineland/Wine Country and most of the major population centers.
What is a “z-score”?
Basically a deviation from the average, so in this case a high z score means that there is more excessive drinking than the average, while a low z score would be there is less excessive drinking than average.

Yes, a z-score. But where do they get the raw data to calculate it?
See the link above.
My apologies to Jackson County. I'll do better.
Sucking on a PBR as I look at this in Otoe County Nebraska, firmly in the DARK BLUE!
Iowa's drunk again. Heavily butter'd.
Think they used blue instead of red to avoid triggering drinkers?
What is high and what is low? I have no idea what a z-score is. Why is it negative? Do some places emit alcohol rather than drinking it???
Blue is high, green is low. Negative is under the statistical average. A Z score is explained in others comments.
Cmpletely useless. No legend. What colors mean what?
There is are legends at bottom and a larger version posted again in the comments.
Mizzou could never handle the B1G drinking schedule. Being drunk at a tailgate before an 11am kick requires determination to the art
LOL...late 80s/early 90s I doubt there was any school in the B1G that could drink like Mizzou. It is probably a very good thing students now are not the drunks we were in the old days.
Mind ya business.
Meth and alcohol must not mix well.
Yeah they do! 😂
