Thank you, Census Bureau! Their 2012 American Community Survey was interpreted by businessinsider.com and came up with a ranking of which states were the most "normal," or in line with data from the U.S. as a whole.

Delaware, where I have lived for a long, long, time, rated number 7 on the most "normal" state. The marriage rate for men was identical to the national rate-49.8%. The rate for women was 45.1% for women, compared to 46.3% for U.S. women. The point of real estate interest was that Delawareans were less likely to be in poverty than other Americans (DE: 12.0%, U.S.: 15.9%), and they were more likely to have health insurance before the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (DE: 91.2%, U.S.: 85.2%). However, Delaware had more vacant housing units than other states — 17.1% for Delaware, as opposed to 12.4% in the nation overall.

And which state was the most normal? The state where I was born and raised, Illinois! (Chicago, to be specific as to city)
So there is a new state of normalcy for me....Biden-town or Chicago's dreamy Cloudgate sculpture in Millenium Park. (Biden picture taken the day they re-named the Amtrak Station in Wilmington the Jos. R. Biden Jr. Station and Cloudgate taken on my last visit to Chicago)
