Comically, this is also basically a map of countries in Europe scored based on how convenient the existence of each country is to the kind of people who make us-europe comparisons

Take the absolute value and the numbers and you get an ok map of how likely someone is to be trying to mislead you if they're comparing all of the US to just this one nation.

You could make a pretty similar map with US states vs US average.

Correlation is a hell of a drug[1].

Do Europeans migrate to a similar extent that Americans do?

Why don't you include Mexico when you compare America to Europe? Are you trying to mislead someone?

The parts of Europe that weren't a part of Soviet overwhelmingly have better life expectancy than USA. Including the ex-soviet/communist states is like adding Mexico to US statistics.

Edit: Map of the soviet blocks, you can see it very closely correlates with this life expectancy map. When people compare Europe to USA, they compare western Europe, the soviet block states are not relevant in the comparison.
