Fast food is ubiquitous throughout America, but to varying degrees in each state.
According to a recent survey by Datafiniti, Alabama has the highest number of fast food restaurants per capita: 6.3 restaurants per 10,000 residents. Other Southern states dominate the rest of the top 10. Meanwhile, most of the states with the fewest fast food restaurants per capita are from the Eastern U.S.; Vermont has the fewest (1.9), followed by New Jersey (2.0) and New York (2.1).
