I map Episcopalians in the USA three ways, first in terms of the number of communicants in each diocese:
Notice the radical shift when we factor in U.S. Census data to look at Episcopalians' percent of the local population:
And more conventionally, we see how far you would have to go to find a communicant--or put practically, how much a diocese might expect to pay for a new bishop's transportation costs and how far Episcopalians have to go to network with one another:

Caveat: Square miles here are estimates when a state is comprised of more than one diocese, or when there are other overlaps. Estimates are probably least accurate for the Diocese of Washington, for which I used only the square miles of the District of Columbia.
Percent of the population is also an estimate when a state is comprised of more than one diocese, or when there are other overlaps. I estimated the percent of the state's population to be proportionately the same as each diocese's portion of the total communicants in the whole state.
Data for Michigan treats the Diocese of Michigan and the Diocese of Eastern Michigan as one, as they were in 1994, though they show up separately on the maps, as they will in future reports from Executive Council.
