The upper midwest's lifespans are extended because of the need to go into hibernation, so the number of active days is closer to the lower latitudes. Casseroles were created to allow them to fatten up for winter, as there are not enough salmon for the general population.
The numbers should come down with global warming letting them forage during the winter months.
It's basically where people exercise more and/or have an outdoors-y culture.
Levels of sedentary lifestyle by state:
If that map was more granular, I bet it would match very closely.
Lazy ass Rhode Islanders.
It's hysterical because the conservatives in the South are always saying how those pansy liberals wouldn't know a hard day's work if it hit them in the head. And here you have evidence that many of those states are among the worst and the rest are orange.
The hardest working states are the ones right down the middle, from North Dakota to Texas. The least hardworking are generally the northeast (excepting the redder states of NH and ME) and west coast.
Somewhat unsurprising if you realize that most of the states down the middle have some of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation--e.g., North Dakota has an unemployment rate under 2%, whereas states like California, Washington, and New York have some of the highest.
Hardest working also factors in rates of overtime or multiple jobs (i.e., average hours worked per week), so realistically you want to be somewhere like Mass or Vermont (and others) that have both low unemployment and reasonable weekly hours.
That makes those states less "hardworking," but I would bet the standard of living/happiness indices are higher in those states. Regardless, by these metrics and in general, red states do work more hours and have more of their state's people gainfully employed.
I think you have that backward. The red is showing the higher percentage of people who exercise. Which if the case, states around Mississippi exercises the most, while those in Washington and Oregon exercise least. This could suggest those those in warmer climates exercise more.
The first map shows life expectation over 80+, I believe to correlate more with affluence. Basically the more money you have, the higher the chance of living longer
No, it's a map of what percent say they don't exercise at all. I should have included the legend and title, but I've corrected the verbiage in the original post.
Are you of the opinion that north dakota, south dakota, Vermont, New Hampshire, etc are filled with wealthy people? I know you want to hate rich people, which is great, but that doesn't seem to be the whole story here.

Well, yeah ok. It's understandable now that you fixed the wording. Why would I hate rich people? Why are you making such an assumption? It's absolutely wrong anyway.
Basically nowhere in the south except parts of Florida and Texas huh
people that made it past retirement age moving to South Florida could skew the data curve
Phoenix, too.
I bet this lines up extremely well with a map of where the population is oldest.
Like retirees moving to Florida? Survivorship bias is map form?
We could just swap that green for blue.
But your map contradicts what you're saying??
Nah, I'm thinking it's probably correlated with wealth. I see a lot of red areas covered on this map
Yeah I would love to believe this is anything other than a map of high ratios of white/Asian to other races, which itself is a proxy for high socioeconomic status ratios.
