Whether or not you think astrology is nonsense, there's no denying it has quite the hold on the US — according to one survey, almost 30 percent of Americans believe in the pseudoscience.
To determine just how astrology-obsessed the country is, and which states are more hooked than others, Psychic Source used Google Trends search volume data to analyze the US states and cities' zodiac and horoscope interest over the past year.
Key Findings:
-
New York conducted more astrology-related Google searches per 100,000 residents than any other state, followed by Nevada.
-
People in Idaho were the least interested in searching for horoscope and zodiac info.
-
Leo was the most-searched zodiac sign in 15 states — more than any other sign.
-
When it comes to cities, Cleveland, Ohio, Buffalo, New York, Cinncinnati, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, believers all searched more for Virgo horoscopes than any other zodiac sign.
