I spent a lot of my career thinking about data as it relates to place. And what makes a good/great place to live. There are reasons some places don't score well. But I hadn't simplified it to the fact that they are actively working to kill you.

Only about half of Americans live where they grew up. The rest have moved around including 1/4 who moved from a different state and 1/12 from outside the U.S. Education plays a big part... @ipsosus
The first Millennials were born in 1981, which means there are now 40-year-old Millennials.
