Does your city have personality?

Richard Florida (no relation to the state of Florida) conducted a study of the United States, and some of his findings interested me.

Most people know of Chicago as the Second City, famous for the lovable losers (cubs), hot dogs, deep dish pizza, and flight delays at O'Hare.

Florida's study (again, no relation) shows Chicago as generally extroverted, slightly agreeable, and not open to new experiences at all. Also, while New York is off the charts in terms of being neurotic, Chicago displays none of this.

also, more women than men in Chicago...good ratio....gotta love that

Check out the Boston Globe's writeup here.

I found this via chicagoist.com, and here's a link to the maps to play with.....they are quite fascinating
