    You will not be surprised by the areas where the most books are banned.

    Wilson County Schools in Tennessee were responsible for the single most significant number of comic book bans in the nation, at 89 unique title bans.

    North East Independent School District in Texas (69 bans); Hillsborough County Schools in Florida (57 bans); Oak Ridge Schools in Tennessee (53 bans); Union County Schools in Florida (38 bans); Katy Independent School District in Texas (35 bans); Knox County Schools in Tennessee (32 bans); Pennridge School District in Pennsylvania (31 bans); Lamar Consolidated Independent School District in Texas (27 bans); and Nacogdoches Independent School District [in Texas] (21 bans)

    Rural Pennsylvania making the list is the only surprise.
