The highest Gluten Free American States are connected to income levels Diego Perotti Jersey , see which are the main state Business Articles | February 25, 2010 The leading Gluten free countries are also the wealthiest (per person). Taken further, we find that there is a relationship between high gluten free searches and the wealthiest States in America. Though this is tempered by the nature of the wealth, urbanization and other factors. This ground breaking research looks at what factors are involved in the take up of gluten free products.
A previous original analysis article for Gluten Free Pages postulated that the most mature and fastest growth gluten free countries in the world were highly related to the wealth of the country, specifically the GDP per person.
The gluten free online demand AND wealth relationship turned out to be logarithmic with a close relationship for most countries. It was decided that this concept should be explored more. The next postulate was that perhaps this theory could be extended to states or regions within countries, and even cities.
A GFP analysis and article was created that explored the gluten free online demand growth rates of the top ten and bottom ten wealth states in America. The analysis showed that the poorest states either did not have data or it was very intermittent. For the top ten average income states (listed below) Daniele De Rossi Jersey , GF demand or growth rates were found to be very high.
A similar analysis was performed for Australian states (as Australia was found to be a higher ?celiac search? per month country than the US). Similar results were found. The conclusion was drawn that the for the wealthy highest growth states?to have a high sustained gluten free search growth rate that they required: a minimum population and high urbanisation. This may or may not be connected with healthcare availability and a willingness and education of doctors to test for celiac disease, considering that the US diagnosis rate may be under 10%.
Google provides growth rate data for any phrase that has sufficient search volumes. For gluten free, as of late December 2009, the following America states were found to have the highest gluten free search rates.

You will notice that not all of the ?wealthiest? states on the first list, are in the top ten current highest growth gluten free states above.?A first point is that if a states wealth is based on finance industries or natural resources, the wealth may be concentrated in a few individuals hands and not evenly distributed amongst the people ? which is unlikely to lead to high GF search rates. This is potentially why Alaska and Hawaii were high wealth states Alisson Jersey , but not high gluten free demand states. Also certain races have certain dispositions (genes) to acquiring celiac disease. Europeans (Caucasians) seem to have a higher rate of this gene ? so this will influence the level of celiac disease in a community too.
For the above TEN states two states only have data for the last year, so while?New Hampshire and Utah are in the top ten, the limited and very volatile data is not useful for analysis. The other eight?states have a VERY similar search growth pattern over the last two years (2008 to 2009).?As is the general GF search pattern for America, there is a peak for November December, then a lull in January, February Alessandro Florenzi Jersey , March. However all of the states had a very strong growth pattern from April to December 2009.
For eight?states, the table above shows the linear projection of the growth rate for the year. So while Colorado is listed by Google as being the current (December 2009) highest growth state, this is based on its very latest demand.
While high wealth, high education, highly trained medical practitioners are a precursor to good celiac diagnosis levels, high growth states do not necessarily correlate with ?market maturity?. However it is thought that since GF diagnosis rates are so low in the US (< 5%) Aleksandar Kolarov Jersey , that most states are relatively new to celiac disease and gluten free and in the ?early adopter? stage of market maturity. This means that in the GF case, that the highest growth states (based over a two year period), are most likely also the most mature GF states.?
WHAT are the highest growth American cities?
A high growth state is naturally composed of high growth cities, however depending on the urbanisation, wealth and education level of the people in these cities will dictate how many of them contribute to the achieving the high growth rate of GF searches in the state as a whole. This is why it can be very instructive to see what the overall top ten Gluten free online demand growth cities in the USA are
