Where You Live Determines the Likelihood of a Long Life Expectancy

In an article in the May 8/May 13, 2023 issue of Time magazine this map shows the huge gap in life expectancy across the country. Most of California’s coast and much of New England along with Minnesota appear to be the places to live for the longest life. The South includes the poorest people in the country and are likely to live shorter lives by as much as 20 years. Owsley County, Kentucky has the lowest household income in the South: 1 in 4 live in poverty. Life expectancy there is 68 years.

This should be an issue for all politicians but it is not. They are more concerned about abortions and LGBTQ regulations. For me that is a head scratcher.
