Doesnt seem like participation rate really affected anything, seems like the "Big Three" slow gainers in the North and East had similar response rates as the top 3 gainers. Its really surprising to me that those states grew so slowly this decade, considering the swifter pace they experienced in 1990-2000 (IL: 8.6%, MA 5.5%, NY 5.5%).
