4 Conclusion

In conclusion, we found that differing in what we control for helps us explain the unexplained variability in the average life expectancy across counties in the United States. We found that demographic variables explain better at a county level while negative health variables and socioeconomical variables explain better at the state level. Understanding these underlying unexplained variables will allow our readers to better grasp how they might potentially extend their lives or gain insights into areas they should consider relocating to.
Building off of what we have found, some additional measures may possibly be useful to investigate further in future work. This would include taking into account number of Covid-19 cases per county, highest level of education attained, sexual activity, and mental illnesses.
