[JD59]

Starting with 73.9 years in Gadsden, Alabama

In 2015, life expectancy in the US was 78.8 years. But it varied widely for Americans living in different states—and even in different cities within the same state. Now 24/7 Wall St. has cataloged the city in every state with the lowest life expectancy—from 73.9 years in Gadsen, Alabama, to 80.9 in Burlington, Vermont—using 2014 data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

How short are these people?

[Hollytree]

Chart is mislabeled. US average is 78.9- anything over that is higher than average.

[Thoreau424]

People probably live the shortest in areas that are heavily polluted and/or heavy in crime. Beyond that, I don't see the point in this thread other than wandering doodling of the brain on a lazy afternoon.
