What U.S. County Has the Most Mustangs Per Capita

April 17 marks sixty years since the Ford Mustang's public debut at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The original pony car immediately became a pop-culture and automotive phenom, and it remains one of the most impactful cars in history. We're celebrating with stories of the events surrounding the Mustang's launch, the history of the early cars, and tales from owners.

There's a town in Oklahoma called Mustang, with a population of nearly 20,000. There's another one in Texas, and it has a population of zero as of the 2020 census (for some reason, Mark Cuban bought it in 2021 for $2M). There is not, however, a Mustang County in the United States of America. At least not officially. This got us wondering where it is in the country that Mustangs are most popular. We surveyed our insurance data to find out. The result was this map-hover over it to see which U.S. counties have the most Ford Mustangs per capita.

A dry county named after Civil War general Philip Sheridan, Sheridan County, Kansas isn't known for much. But it does, according to our data, have more proud Ford Mustang owners per capita than any county in the nation. Kansas in general has relatively high rates of Mustang ownership, as do North Carolina, Virginia, Montana, and North Dakota. As for places like Arkansas, Maine, Louisiana, and Illinois, maybe they're more into Camaros-stay tuned for future maps. Where does your hometown stack up?
