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 |
| Providence, R.I. | 3 |
