Lowest trick-or-treater density by state

Children age 5–14 per 1,000 homes.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

Children age 5–14 per 1,000 housing units, from Census ACS 5-year estimates. It is a Halloween proxy for the number of likely trick-or-treaters relative to doors, not a count of participants or a safety measure.
