not “I hate it here” as in “I want to leave” but “I hate it here” as in “this is a list of the 50 counties in the whole united states with the lowest life expectancy and Kentucky is 14 of them”
this was jumping off from recent kentuckyposting, but if you’re american this list should radicalize you. It’s just a parade of the evils of this nation
The US county with the lowest average life expectancy (as of 2014) is Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota. It is a Native American reservation with a 92.9% Native American population. The average life expectancy there is 66.81 years.
If it were a country, it would rank below 150th in worldwide average life expectancy.
The second county on the list is Union County, Florida, at 67.57 years. It has a high prison population—one-third of the county’s population is incarcerated.
The list is dominated from there on by Native American reservations, counties in Mississippi with a 70%+ Black population, and Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia coal country.
