The North Dakota Counties You Can Expect To Live The Longest

Does where you live matter when it comes to a longer life?

I would think if you had better access to healthcare and more options, that would translate to a healthier and longer life.

Then again, there's something to be said about living away from "city life" and all the stress that goes with it sometimes. You know, traffic, crime, and neighbors that let their dog bark for hours upon hours. Living on top of each other, without a lot of space.

Living in the country you get to breathe in all that fresh air on a daily basis. There's a reason why many of us when we go on a vacation, we seek out isolated spots. Yep, living out in rural areas has to be good for the soul too.

There are obviously a lot of different factors when it comes to longevity and where you live.
