A new report shows which U.S. states are most likely to go vegan.
While the number of people who choose plant-based diets has spiked throughout the country, Oregon in particular seems to be a hot spot for vegans.
Oregonians had the highest vegan Google search interest across the U.S. and the second-highest number of vegan restaurants per person, the site said. All four categories culminate in an overall vegan score of 86.6 for the Beaver State, which also performs strongly in the vegan savings and meetups sections.
Hawaii was the only state to top Oregons score, with a total of 91.7 points out of 100. California, New York and Washington rounded out the top five.
Many Oregonians wont be surprised by their No. 2 ranking, considering their states overall push to be more eco-friendly.
Just within the past year, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality banned the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger vehicles in the state by 2035, Eugene prohibited gas hookups in new low-rise homes, and a Portland coffee shop won an award for making oat milk its default milk option.
On the other end of the spectrum, states including Wyoming, Arkansas and West Virginia were named the least likely to change to a plant-based diet.
