I decided to treat states and nations alike by attaching their life expediencies. Then I merged them with all the countries with their life exp giving me a list of 252 political units. I then raked them , 1 is longest living, extracted the states and added how states ranked in the world.🧪💡☠️

This graph shows the relationship between state percent evangelical and state age 20-64 death rates. The relationship gets stronger while the percent Evangelical , as measured here, stays close to the same. This calls for looking at this relationship by specific causes.🧪💡☠️

Native Americans receive most age 0-64 health care through the Indian Health Service and most of their age 65+ health care through Medicare. The graph shows their death rates from 1999 to 2013 as percents of 1999. I will present similar graphs for other groups soon. The raw data are in ALT.🧪💡☠️
