2021's Trending Google Searches by State

Trending search terms were taken from Google's 2021 Year in Search summary. Trending search terms after mid-November 2021 were taken from Google's Daily Search Trends page.

Google Trends provides weekly relative search interest for every search term, along with the interest by state. Using these two datasets for each search term, we're able to calculate the relative search interest for every state for a particular week. Linear interpolation was used to calculate the daily search interest.

The real division in this country is everyone pumping $GME while Mississippi was so poor that it had to pump Dogecoin instead.

This demonstrates the incredible success of the news at misdirecting attention towards meaningless drivel.

Had to watch at 0.25x to even process it

Everyone: GME! AMC! TO THE MOON!

Mississippi: Uhhh... Dogecoin?

[carsonneeley]

Every state: Squid Game
West Virginia: uhhh battlefield 2042?

Confirmed my suspicions that most Americans are still obsessed with pointless Kardashian-style celebrity gossip.

I don't know how to feel as I don't remember searching any of these trending items all year.

[Sweetgrl]

It's amazing that people across the country, from such different areas and generally interested in very different things, are all Googling the same things at the same time

[CosmoSkerry]

I want a screen showing this map live on my wall

[christinejaegle]

I love seeing Mississippi just over there doing their own thing lol

[TBATG]

I remember when hurricane ida was trending, because it was a literally category 4 that was headed towards me

With all the data out there you'd think they would be more specific state by state.. maybe the top 50 searches per state. Now that will help in which direction were going state by state, regional then nationally. Giving ideas to those who are making future plans, single, family, relationships.

i loved seeing the majority of the country searched for dmx after he passed. made me smile.

[Snickerdoodle]

The amount of these that I've actually searched is crazy

[MikeWX]

0:59 everyone (almost) searches up tornado, even alaska

[dartooze]

What software do you use to make these videos? They are really cool.

[JohnJaneson]

Sad that this channel died. This is probably one of the most informative channel in youtube...maybe that's why it's shut down?

[orperish]

I love how Omar from the wire had his moment

[mikep.]

I am so thankful that my life is so far removed from the mindset of the masses. My only searches show "Gibson Les Paul and Carburetor rebuild kit instructions". 😂
