Why would you not use the same color scale for each one…
leonprimrose on
I feel like the color scale should be weighted the same for each because the way it’s set up looks like white americans live shorter lives than black americans but the numbers show that’s not the case

Hispanics live longer than white people although they are on average much poorer? That is very interesting.

Leave the U.S. if you’re black. Is that the message? There needs to be an intelligence over time in relation to this chart.

Not keeping the age range the same makes this data visualization really confusing or misleading

Like most of these sorts of questions it’s seems to follow average incomes broke out by state mostlyÂ

Why not a bar chart showing all three ethnicities by state? Flipping back and forth between the maps sucks.

Why not use RGB values for colors for each race and display everything on a single map?

I love how every map of the US lines up with the electoral college exactly how youd expect

DC’s white population figures are skewed by the Senate and the White House

I see that OP knew everyone would be shook AF if they saw our Asian forever-genes.
But also, shout-out to my fellow Massholes for taking care of our people.

The first slide explains why old white people refuse to stop running for office – DC at 87.5?!?

You’ve got the tool used to create it and your reddit name but not where the data comes from…

Are these numbers including or excluding infant mortality? Curious to see the change if that is taken out or included.

Those 5K Black people in Montana are really bringing up the averages there.

How much of this is due to Hispanics moving to another country near the end of old age? I have a lot of friends whose family did some version of that.

70-something is still surprisingly high, considering all the health issues among so many Americans, and the lack of proper healthcare for the uninsured, the underinsured, the homeless, and the undocumented.

Why do Black Americans live longer in Montana and surrounding states?

Why do these things routinely ignore Asians?

As a hispanic man well versed with white american culture, my **guesses** as to why we live longer are:
* Most hispanics are mixed race people (native american mixed with southern european and some african)
* You’ve ever heard that pure bred dogs live shorter?
* Hispanics dont get stressed as much as we take life less seriously. Stress is rampant in white people over the most insignificant things.
* More likely to eat home cooked meals than to eat out. More traditional gender roles lead to more home-cooked meals from the wife. You dont have to agree with it being right or not. That’s not the point.
**Hispancs really punch above their weight class**Â despite having a similar economic situation to black people and having way less access to health care than whites or blacks due to lack of immigration documentation being common issue in our community.

Not that helpful of a chart without socio economic stats or more specific geo graphics. Zipcode says more than state

You forgot East Asians. Asian Americans outlive every other country.

Non-American here (NZer) but have spent a reasonable amount of time in the western half of the USA over the years. Assuming these maps are accurate, there’s some interesting situations shown.
a) Why is Nevada significantly lower than the surrounding states? (almost the same as some Deep South states)
b) Black American LE seems to be “pretty good” in the upper midwest region (plus the far NE of the USA). What’s behind that? (given the traditional perspective of economic/political discrimination against blacks in particular)
It would be interesting to see a 4th map showing Native American LE rates by state.
It would also be interesting to see line graphs of changes in LE across these groups over the past 50 years.
TIA for any insights.

What is going on with Latinos in West Virginia?

I understand why the color gradient changes for each group, but it would show more stark contrast in life expectancy immediately between the three maps if they were all using the same color gradient
