“Our Patchwork Nation: The Surprising Truth about the Real America.”

The book is not a retelling of the stories told on this site, it is a comprehensive look at who we are as a country and where we are going using Patchwork Nation’s 12 community types and examining what they mean for the the nation’s Economic, Political and Cultural future.

Our Patchwork Nation has been called, “a captivating and at times surprising analysis, both rigorous and accessible” by Kirkus Reviews. The PBS NewsHour’s Jim Lehrer, says Our Patchwork Nation is “a book to keep always at your side and in your mind.” And the Washington Post’s E.J. Dionne calls it “a wonderful book that takes us way beyond red and blue - while also explaining the social, regional and economic roots of our partisan and ideological color wars.”

Interesting. Except I think this might be a little misleading because most of the counties with more than 10 schools are the most populated ones. I would like to see percentage-wise or some other relative way of comparing counties.
