Hispanics live longer than white people, who live longer than black people (look at the Black Belt).
It's hard to simply blame economics when some very poor Hispanic regions outlive some wealthy black/white ones.
I'm not versed enough to know whether race itself plays any significant roles, or if it's more cultural, but it's certainly eye opening as a factor.

There is a glaring counterexample: Atlanta, a prosperous majority black city, has very high life expectancy, but the surrounding rural areas in Georgia, majority white and poor, have low life expectancy. Birmingham Alabama is another similar example.
