Business Software Alliance has estimated software piracy in the US and breaks down each state. Utah and Mississippi are the biggest pirates with Virginia and New Jersey with the least pirated software.

Of course if you read their methodology (number of computers bought vs. amount of software bought) you can probably think of dozens of confounding factors. But why quibble with the experts.
