I wonder if there is a correlation with percentage of a state’s population in large cities.

Even today, there is huge difference in Texas between the metro regions, like Houston, and counties far away. With the further away a county the lower the life expectancy.

Houston has the same life expectancy as Hawaii, but not so much a hundred miles away from Houston
