Modified map showing the number of nudist resorts in each state, based on the AANR club listings:
Analyzing the data in the above graphics, it's reasonable to conclude that the following states have a large population and a shortage of nudist resorts (compared to similar states):
New York
Illinois
Arkansas
Louisiana
Kentucky
Arizona
Tennissee
Virginia
North Carolina
New Jersey
Massachusetts
However, since this series is about urban resorts, one must also consider the population density maps.
Population density map from Wikipedia:
Many of the states which contain no nudist resorts have a low population. But, the majority of the population is within cities. States which have no resorts and have a high urban population density include:
South Dakota
Iowa
Nebraska
Utah
Nevada
New Mexico
Arkansas
Louisiana
Kentucky
Deleware
Rhode Island
New Hampshire
Maine
Alaska
If I were to create an urban nudist oasis, I'd put it in one of the states above.
Many of the states happen to be in northern latitudes as well. Nudist resorts, for the most part, close down during the winter months. Most only have outdoor facilities. Bigger ones have a few indoor facilities, but it's often not worth venturing down slippery backroads just to swim in the nude. An advantage of an indoor urban resort is that it can remain open year-round and provide the same facilities.

The above stats are the reason we are opening clothing optional bed and breakfasts in many of the states noted. We'll have to look at the others and see if we can open there, too! Good info...it supports what we thought we knew. :-)
