A geographical breakdown of the data would probably be extremely helpful. I have a feeling there are isolated communities that make up a huge portion of home-schoolers.
You have to read the entire paragraph. He has a hypothesis about the geographical spread of homeschoolers (the feeling you mentioned), and he would have liked some data to test that. That's not the same as making a sweeping, unsupported statement on a feeling.

- briansmith 18y agoFrom another publication (Google it): "Using a division of the country according to migration patterns developed by Frey (2000), home schoolers are seen to be located in rural and suburban areas of the West..." That was all I could find before posting my comment. I did search at length for a map and I couldn't find one. Anyway, common sense says that the fewer the number of schools near you, the less likely you are to pick any of them--especially when there are no schools near you.
