I don't think so. From the web site:"..male-female
ratio (the number who were male times 100 divided by the number who were
female) ..."

100 means equal numbers of men and women, >100 means more men than women, <100 means fewer men than women. So your post should read "Alaska has 107 males for every 100 females and Philly has 86 males for every 100 females." shouldn't it?
