Kentucky is simply due to the fact that of it's location. Vanderbilt is more diverse due to it's academics and it's elite selectivity in it's admissions process.

When I was an undergrad at UK, most of the Ohioans I met were from southern Ohio and were either legacies to UK and/or had family roots in Kentucky. Quite a few others had historical ties to other Southern states. As such, they (Ohioans with Southern roots) were not always viewed as "Yankees" (i.e. Northerners, Midwesterners, what have you) per say.
