Hooker County, Nebraska

If you're of a sophomoric mind like myself, you see Hooker County and think, yeah man, when's the next plane? Just stop. The reason I'm writing about it is Hooker County, Nebraska, according to data I'm playing with, is ranked #1 when it comes to the proportion of people who belong to clubs or associations.

Keep in mind this is a county with barely more people than it has square miles -- under a thousand for each. According to the data there are six associations in the county with an association rate of 81.3 percent. #2 is 62.0 percent, Greeley, Kansas.

So what's up with this county? It's mostly white, it's mostly rural, with few people below the poverty level. It has no violent crime, a big fat "0" in the data, and overall looks like a nice place to live.

Oh, last place? There's a tie for a bunch of counties but we'll award it to Plute County, Utah, for no other reason than the alphabet says so.
