I always wonder what the actual statistical significance of these maps are. They always seem random, and it'd make sense if it's essentially the same mix of a little of everything everywhere.

You'll find your answer in the gray text above the map.

No, no I wouldn't.

"More often" could be by one search in a total set of 1,000,000, which basically is never going to be statistically significant - it could just be random chance, and not an actual trend. That goes in both absolute and relative terms.
