RIA density, state-by-state.

US states shaded by registered RIA firms (illustrative dataset). California and New York carry the long tail; the Northeast corridor, Texas, and Florida do most of the rest. Useful for territory planning, event geography, and event-driven outbound waves.

Fork & ship

Self-contained. Pulls a minified US-states TopoJSON from cdn.jsdelivr.net and joins to the DATA map by state name. Replace values to repurpose for DST sponsor density, AUM concentration, custodian footprint, or anything keyed off state.

// state-name → metric. unmapped states render as "no data".
const DATA = {
  "California": 2150,
  "New York":   1480,
  "Texas":      980,
  "Florida":    820,
  // ... etc
};

When to use this

Geographic distribution of a single metric. Hover a state to see the number. For 2-variable territory views, layer a bubble map on top. For trend-over-time geography, use a small-multiple grid of choropleths instead of animating.

Data source

Illustrative figures only — calibrated to SEC IARD state RIA counts but rounded for the gallery. Replace with current production data before using externally. Hawaii and Alaska sit in their conventional offset position.
