Does being a friendlier state increase life expectancy?
So you may have heard that last week McKinney was named the #2 Place in the United State to live in a Money Magazine list, but did you know that Collin County has the state’s highest life expectancy too? You can see a map outlining the lifeexpectancy of each county on this interactive map. The data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington covers 20 years of statistics and shows the changes in life expectancy by county and gender over time.
In Collin County in 2009 men had a life expectancy of 80.5 years and women 83.1 years. While many counties across the United States life expectancies decreased Collin County statistics have actually increased.
So does that have a correlation to the ranking from Money Magazine where they evaluate job opportunities, great schools, housing, low crime rates and quality health care?
Or is it because everyone is generally friendlier in Texas (out-of-state buyers always make that comment).

Looking for a unique way to spend this afternoon/evening? The City of McKinney, Texas in partnership with McKinney Velo Velo invites you to the third annual Bike the Bricks Criterium… in Historic Downtown McKinney on Friday evening, May 25, 2012. Spectators will be inches from the action as bike racers rocket through the downtown McKinney square at speeds in excess of 40 MPH, powered only by their legs, and protected from the pavement only by their skill. Some will be trying to grab a share of the $20,000 plus prize money, for others it’s a test of survival.
Event spectators of all ages are invited to this year’s Friday night free event in Downtown McKinney to enjoy cycling, friendly camaraderie and an opportunity to purchase food and drink This year we are estimating 500 cyclists will participate in the event, and thousands of spectators will enjoy event amenities. Warm up begins at 4:00 p.m., racing kicks off at 4:30p.m.
There are several great locations to watch the nail-biting action packed races throughout the course. Not only in the Beer Garden but bleachers will be available in the Parking Lot at Virginia Street near the Start/Finish line.
Local Health & Wellness Vendors will be on hand to during the event to highlight and communicate how to get in shape, eat right and feel better. This area will also serve as a Racers Registration Area where they will be able to sign up and pick up their packets for the Race.
