What's going on in Swain County? My friend is a data scientist and is tracking life expectancy and mental health in North Carolina. Swain County has the highest mentally unhealthy days and the lowest life expectancy compared to the rest of the state (average in physical activity). A quick Google also showed they have one of the highest crime rates compared to the rest of the state and high suicide rate(despite their low population????). So, what's going on? Why is Swain County sad? What's going on in Swain County?

For those interested: Raleigh, Durham, Orange, and Mecklenburg counties all have some of the highest or are on the higher end of life expectancy and mental health.
