I wonder if the New Mexico statistics include the Navajo Rez? -- nm - Meg Jul 2, 15:40 2
- I'd assume so. The four western states on the bottom ten have a lot of reservations (I know its handled differently in Alaska) -- nm - crash davis Jul 2, 15:59 1
  - Alcohol and poverty - schools and medical facilities seem to be improving but still aways to go :( -- nm - Meg Jul 2, 16:12
Republican strongholds are the worst? Shocker -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 15:22 1
- tbf, I wouldn't characterize Nevada and New Mexico that way -- nm - crash davis Jul 2, 15:24
