1300 miles for me. I raise the mean for the Midwest region

It's not showing the mean. It's showing the median

I understand that, and my distance affects the median very little if at all.

My mom is dead and I live 3,000 miles from her grave.

Based on the average Utah home, I assume you share a house

Longseason

I lived ~1000 miles from my mom at the time she died and for the 15 years previous.

Did you move closer to her after she died?

Yukon

Well, further actually. By about 4000 miles (we moved to England shortly after she died). Came back after a few years.

Me too. 7,700 miles away.

~2100 Miles straight line. ~2600 to drive.

Most of CB would be higher than the average, I would assume it’s positively

Culture as well. Encouraged to leave.

Who is "encouraged to leave"? And by whom?

Serving a mission, for example. Or attending BYU, BYUI, BYUH.

Those numbers seem too low

This entire thread is a weird flex

I’ll put you down as still living with your mom 😉

Longseason

Lot's of people with childhood trauma they haven't gotten past.

maYbe

I think if you think anyone is flexing you are extra sensitive to living close to your mom

Baron

Most people live close to home. Areas with more population density have smaller distances.

Baron

500 and it’s still too close

Contrary to the CB narrative that Utah folks are more likely to refuse to

This doesn’t disprove that at all. The distance from Provo to SLC is 45 miles,

But the fact that other regions are closer points to those folks not leaving

The narrative I've heard my whole life isnt that they wont move away, its that

Well, even if that's the case, this map suggests that people from other

Not any of our kids live within 600 miles of us.

I need to know what the age cutoff is for which children count in this map. Is this counting all children or only the

SingleStrapBackpack

Also, does the state correspond to where the mother lives or the child? There are going to be lots of people for whom

This graph says more about population density than anything else. Here’s a map:

In surprised Utah area is such a large number compared to other areas

Powerbait DPM

By state would be more interesting.

15 miles, 24 by car

520,000 miles

Is this for women? I'd love to see one for MIL.

Median vs Average. Would be a more interesting graph if average was used IMO.

1.5 miles for me

My mom lives 4900 miles away from me

WDaddy

Out of state members come to Utah to go to school and wind up staying here.

Is there one of these for mother-in-laws?
