Analyze the distribution of NASA facilities on the map

Looking at the map of "US NASA Facilities", we observe the geographic distribution of the marked facilities (stars, dots, and circles):

• West: There are a few facilities in California (Ames Research Center, Armstrong Flight Research Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory).
• Midwest: There is Glenn Research Center in Ohio.
• Northeast: There are very few facilities (e.g., Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York).
• Southeast: There is a high concentration of facilities clustered in the southeastern region of the United States, including:
• Wallops Flight Facility (Virginia)
• Langley Research Center (Virginia)
• Katherine Johnson IV&V Facility (West Virginia)
• Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters (Washington, D.C.)
• Marshall Space Flight Center (Alabama)
• Stennis Space Center (Mississippi)
• Michoud Assembly Facility (Louisiana)
• Kennedy Space Center (Florida)
• Johnson Space Center (Texas/Gulf Coast border area)

Determine the region with the highest concentration
