I am not sure about this age group in cities. But overall, USA populations in metro areas have same mortality figures as in EU, Canada and Japan. But, away from metro areas, this drops by 5 or more years per person. Preventive, and not emergency, care is a lot of that reason.

    so too is the lack of experience and/or community support in living with perpetual adversity.

    I have seen community diminish in the last two generations: less people outdoors. Visitors from other countries remarking how empty the neighborhood streets are of pedestrians. Less neighbors talk to each other. Less community activities. Fewer people in bars, churches, local sports

    I know it helped diminish local politics and labor organizing, now your comment helped me see it is deadly too
