McDowell County, WVa — where I lived from birth to the 2nd grade — has the lowest life expectancy in the country. 63.9 years. "The disparities become particularly evident when examining life expectancy across different regions. For example, the men living in Fairfax County, VA — where the median household income is over $100,000 — have a life expectancy of about 82 years. But in neighboring McDowell County, WV, where the median household income is just $39,500, men have a life expectancy of just 63.9 years. That’s the lowest in the country, and similar to the average number of years that people in poorer developing nations live."
