Something in the water?

Statistically, it makes sense that New York and Los Angeles, the country’s most populous cities, would be the hometown to the most ADs. But a deeper look reveals that nine ADs are from the 100-mile region in North Carolina that is home to Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest and N.C. State. Hometowns of note:

Tobacco Road, N.C. 9
New York City (one of the five boroughs) 7
Los Angeles 7
Dayton, Ohio 6
Philadelphia 5
Jackson, Miss. 4
Long Island, N.Y. 4
Pittsburgh 4
