The AAMVA-LCNS2ROM™ Vanity License Plates Survey ranked American and Canadian jurisdictions by their vanity plate penetration rates, which is the percentage of registered motor vehicles, as defined by the Survey, that have been vanitized. According to Mr. Lonce, "Ranking jurisdictions by their vanity plate penetration rates more accurately measures the popularity of vanity plates than ranking them by the number of vanity plates they have issued. It's fascinating that so many small states have high vanity plate penetration rates."
