agree with @merc81 College of Idaho is competing with the University of Idaho and Boise State. That’s it. Wabash and Reed are competing with a few more schools in their slightly larger states, but not many. In contrast, Pomona is competing with hundreds of colleges and universities in enormous California. Amherst and Williams and Wellesley many others are competing in Massachusetts, the state that is most densely packed with elite universities and LACs.
It just goes to show that you can throw data into a table but it doesn’t mean very much without context.
