Professional Athletes (all time) By State

About the map

Zoom the map in more to see the sport icons line up with their correct city, or click them to learn more (pop-up)

You can click on each state to learn more about how many players they produce total, by sport, and how they rank against the average of total player produced by state.

The above map shows the total professional athletes each state has produced all time. It is broken into five different categories as seen by the legend above. California had the most athletes produced while Alaska had the least amount of athletes. I gathered my data from sports-reference child sites Pro-Football Reference, Basketball Reference, Hockey Reference, and Baseball Reference. The compiled data can be seen here.
