There’s a lot in there from the rankings to break downs along race, education, and poverty.

 

I don’t live in Loudoun, but I wish I did. They’re constantly at the top of all the lists and I love the way they’ve managed development (for the most part )

 

i know they get laughed at for the sprawl but they’ve managed it far better than most others. 

 

The gaps between the better groups and the worse groups is disappointing.

I like info.  Graphs, rankings, political maps, etc.  All of this is very interesting to me.  Thanks for sharing.

 

It plots out like I’d expect.  The more well populated, affluent and educated areas of the state fare well.  The less populated, poorer areas don’t.

 

We could make this a political discussion but I’d rather let some of the more intelligent posters on this board handle that.

I loved that they talked about the root causes of much of the health disparities, i.e. poverty, lack of educational opportunities, the criminal injustice system, etc.
