Mortality, like real estate, can be all about location.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
People living in the parts of the Mississippi Delta, Appalachia, the Coastal Plains along the southern East Coast, as well as residents of northern Nevada have the highest mortality rates nationwide.</DIV>
Alternatively, if you're committed to <A href="http://www.livescience.com/health/060522_immortality_social.html">longevity</A>, your best locational bet is a move to the certain counties in Montana, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, North Dakota and South Dakota, according to a new study comparing mortality rates in counties nationwide.

Sociologist Lynne Cossman of Mississippi State University describes the situation in this month's issue of the <EM>American Journal of Public Health</EM>.

It's a mystery as to exactly why <A href="http://www.livescience.com/health/060523_infant_mortality.html">lifespan</A>  is related to where you live, she said.

"There's no easy way to explain, so far, how death is rooted in place," Cossman said. "But, place matters; that's clearly the case."
