Presumably Southern expats after the Dust Bowl combined with low population density. Or at least, out west that's true.
After all the "Bakersfield sound" of Country music developed from expat Okies, Arkies, Texans and others. (broad definition of Southern, there)

Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
