3. The geography of life expectancy

JAMA Internal Medicine



Life expectancy in the U.S. varies by more than 20 years depending on your county. Axios Science Editor Alison Snyder says researchers found the gap is growing:

Why it matters: Poverty, education, and unemployment — as well as smoking, lack of exercise and access to quality health care — explained 75% of the difference in life expectancy.

Best places: Central Colorado counties had the highest life expectancy (87 years) in 2014.

Worst places: North and South Dakota counties encompassing Native American reservations had the lowest — 66 years.
