Still, it's a mine of information, thank you. I wrote a more detailed summary (an oxymoron, I know) of the findings here: http://bit.ly/1VgwaN Wish I could get the data in maybe xml/csv (not just spss) format.

On the trip I stayed with over 100 households of people I had never met. I observed lots of homes, lots of towns I could potentially make home, and the list goes on. My conclusion was simply, I'm not concerned with where I am nearly as much as I'm concerned with who I'm surrounded by. At the end of the day I could be in Hawaii surrounded by miserable people or in North Dakota surrounded by awesome people. If that was the case I would choose North Dakota over Hawaii in a heartbeat.
