Legend: (this page and next) * = Population served by organization is larger than city or state boundary ** = Data from more than one organization serving this city or state *** = Both the above apply 75,906 80,000 MAINE HAS THE HIGHEST PER CAPITA MEMBERSHIP WITH ONE MEMBER for every 212 residents and Georgia and New York have the lowest with one member per 68 and 76 thousand residents respectively. Colorado has as many members as Maine, but a larger population makes them second in per capita membership, with one member for every 717 residents. Oregon, Vermont, Hawaii and Wisconsin also rank among the top in population based membership. The wide variation in membership rates among states may be due to the fact that some organizations are new and just developing membership programs. Also, some organizations invest more resources into membership solicitation than others.
