How long will you live? Depends on the county

A new county-level analysis has found that life expectancy in most counties in the U.S., including an increasing number in Washington state, is falling behind the world’s longest-living nations. The analysis, by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, also found gaps in life expectancies between men and women and widening gaps among the state’s counties.
