How Old Will You Be When You Die in Maine?
A new report came out this week about where you live and how long you will live. Blah, blah, blah...what's life expectancy in Maine?
A new report shows that life expectancy is rising generally in America...but in some counties, it's going the exact opposite way.
It appears that geography has a lot to do with how long you are going to live. And that geography could be just a county away.
There are 10 counties in the country where life expectancy has dropped the most since 1980. Get this, 8 of those are in Kentucky. The other two are in Oklahoma and Alabama.
But let's get down to getting down. What's the average age in Maine?
79.32
Here's the interesting part - that's actually ABOVE the average.for the country which is 79.08.
There is an interactive map, that if you dive into it - you can not only figure out when you are going to die, but from what!
