Which Counties Are in Which Regions?

You'll see in the Brogan Survey that we've divided responses into regions so we can look at geographic differences in how people respond. (Our divisions largely mirror the national DMAs, or Designated Market Areas, assigned by Nielsen as television markets. That's why the "Charlotte" region goes all the way up to the Virginia border, for example--because the Charlotte TV market does.)

Here is the list (NC first, MI second) of which counties are in which regions (the number after the region name is how many of the 600 survey respondents come from that region, and that's proportional to the population):
