Excerpt:

Among residents of the 50 states, Vermonters are more likely to have pets, according to a new survey by the American Veterinary Medical Association. The AVMA released its U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook, revealing which states have the largest number of pet owners and which have the fewest, and spending trends among pet owners. Thomas McPheron, spokesman for the AVMA, said the survey didn't collect information that might indicate why certain states had higher rates of pet ownership. However, one of the factors may be related to the type of dwellings, such as rural or suburban. "One clue might be that Washington D.C., which is completely urban, has the absolute lowest pet ownership numbers," McPheron said. Total veterinary expenditures for all households with pets were estimated to be about $28 billion in 2011. Dogs represented 68. 1 percent of total veterinary expenditures; cats, 26. 3 percent; birds, 0.

Key:

Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
