  2. Sacramento-Arden-Arcade-Roseville, Calif., 60.1 percent
  3. Oakland-Fremont-Hayward, Calif., 60 percent
  4. Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif., 59.9 percent
  5. Nassau-Suffolk, N.Y., 59.8 percent
  6. Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., 59.6 percent
  7. Boston-Quincy, Mass., 59.6 percent
