Does everyone in those areas have the same brain configuration?
From a purely statistical perspective, that would be impossible.

I moved from Southern California to North Carolina. Before the move, I did research, my primary goal was to get out of California so my options were open. I am not a religious person, but the area I live in now is more conservative than liberal (even self designated liberals around here seem more conservative than not) and is an excellent place for family life. I would not recommend it to a young single adult, for that person I would actually recommend Southern California. Seems to me that migration patterns reinforce the perceptions of certain areas and you end up with more of what an area is known for.
Also, this notion of fear has to be looked at from both sides. For example some people fear McDonald's Happy Meals others fear the government taking their guns - which fear is more irrational?
