It doesn't really count as a diverse place. They are on a fault line and have recorded earthquakes going back to the bronze age.

Many different locations getting rocked.... since just the beginning of 2023.

If you want earthquakes to occur outside of a fault line to convince you of the diversity of locations that are getting hit, then remember how Midland, Texas was hit a couple months ago with a 5.3 magnitude earthquake. Where is the fault line? It was "...the 4th largest earthquake recorded in Texas state history. Although it was a relatively moderate earthquake, it was strong by Texas standards. Texas is far from active fault lines and has little history of earthquakes."
