Ohio not the top state for public use computers

The US National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) released preliminary data in their Normative Data Project for Libraries, 2003. I find it notable that Ohio ranked fifth in 2003 for average number of public-use terminals per stationary outlet (12.88), and 11th for average number of public-use terminals per 5,000 population (4.09).

Also noteworthy is that while Ohio libraries are well known to be at the top concerning state income per capita (39.87), the state ranked 48th in local income per capita (12.31).
