This visualization shows where the highest rates of heart disease mortalities are located. While this visualization does not take the state population into account, it still depicts the high rates in Michigan, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Nevada. States that are less populated also have less deaths attributed to heart disease. States on the coast that have large industries like shipping or technology also have lower rates of heart disease mortalities. This is significant because those states typically have large populations. California, for example, has a lower rate considering its large area and population.
