The rates of registered sex offenders per 100,000 residents vary significantly across the states. Based on the data analysis, the likelihood of being a victim of a sex offender can be influenced by the state’s political affiliation. Here are some key findings:

Key Findings:

• Red States: Red states tend to have higher rates of registered sex offenders per 100,000 residents. Examples include Oregon (775.49), Arkansas (611.43), and South Dakota (461.23).
• Blue States: Blue states generally have lower rates of registered sex offenders per 100,000 residents. Examples include New Jersey (52.30), Massachusetts (82.20), and Washington (91.71).
• Swing States: Swing states have varying rates, high and low. Examples include Wisconsin (452.57), Michigan (399.88), and Pennsylvania (200.29).

This analysis indicates that there are significant differences in the rates of registered sex offenders among red, blue, and swing states. Red states tend to have higher rates, suggesting a potentially higher risk of being a victim in these states compared to blue and swing states. However, considering other factors, such as state laws, reporting practices, and population density, is essential, which can also influence these rates.
