Georgie isn't yet tired — or, at least, she's not been displaying her fatigue — about my incessant pointing toward all the Priuses on the road. Yes, it has been suggested to me that there aren't that many, but that I'm just sensitized to them because we bought one.

Could be; I don't think so. At most, I think both could be true, that there are a lot of Priuses on the road, and that I'm particularly aware of it.

Anyway, I bring that up because Matt Carroll of the Globe did a little thing on Prius sales by town, and it does seem to bolster my thinking that, at least where I am, there are lots of Priuses. Only 6 municipalities in the state have more than 300 Prius owners, and not only do I live in one of them, but four of the other five either border Arlington or one community further. And the other is only two away:

1615 Boston
813 Newton
705 Cambridge
435 Brookline
386 Lexington
301 Arlington
291 Worcester
278 Somerville
263 Northampton
253 Wellesley

I would have been very interested to learn which towns have the most per capita, which would have added a level of meaning, but I wasn't interested enough to run the numbers myself. Even so, I'm guessing that Arlington — along with Falmouth (230) and Amherst (227) — would have ranked pretty high.

Not that I'm bragging on us. Though a green commitment is implied, an obvious factor in addition to population would be average income.
