Some interesting patterns here.

I know several folks who live in Kentucky. Doesn't look like the state does too well. Florida, on the other hand, seems to hold up well across the board. Obesity kills in the deep south and especially the central Gulf states big time, and there's a string of alcoholism than runs along the Rocky Mountains.

I don't find the Connecticut/Hawaii good numbers too strange, as both have very high incomes and cost of living.

If the data is age adjusted it would be interesting to know if the Florida figures are influenced by retirees moving there.
