Doesn't seem like big correlation in this case. Violent crime rate is roughly double in California compared with Utah.

- laurencerowe 8mo agoWhile Utah has a lower homicide rate than California (2.2 vs 5.1 per 100k) like many rural states it has a much higher suicide rate (21.5 vs 10.1 per 100k). Accident mortality (mostly overdoses and car accidents) are similar (49.7 vs 51.1 per 100k). https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/homicide.html https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/homicide.html https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/suicide.html https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/suicide.html https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/accidents.html https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/state-stats/deaths/accidents.html More on the drivers of lower life expectancy in US here: https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/what-drives-differences-in-life-expectancy-between-the-u-s-and-comparable-countries/ https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/what-dr...
