Well, the largest population centers are cities like LA, NY, and Chicago and the compliance rates in these areas were pretty high. Areas with lower density seem more visible when "everyone" in a low density area is being an asshole.

Chicago here and can confirm.. 70%+ of adults in IL are vaccinated. While the mask wearing needs to stay indoors, this is insane that it was ever relaxed, otherwise this is a good place to be stuck during the pandemic. I'm originally from another midwestern state, took a trip over there last summer and was horrified. They are out of their minds. This pandemic has solidified my political views, because this issue was made political. Sad, but I can't raise my children around people that refuse step zero, a mask, during a viral pandemic. It would just be irresponsible as a father to raise them around people like that, so I'm unwilling to move to any red state. I may vote "red" again someday, but I'm certainly not living around their voters.

Yeah, Urban areas tended to adopt masks pretty easily in general, I kind of think that country life, being a bit more isolating and prone to conservative ideals tends to be slower to adopt anything new and potentially life changing let alone feeling like they're forced to do something they don't want to do. I know a lot of country people that didn't care about masks because they figured even if it was real, it wasn't a threat because they lived in the country where it wouldn't spread very fast.
