California causes cancer.

California has relatively low cancer rates.

I note Florida does pretty well also, but I wonder how the
states average age figures into this. Or better yet, how does
age figure into cancer rates.
I see Florida is 5th in average age and 42nd in birthrate.
3rd in percentage Medicare enrollment.
#1 in percentage of people over 65.

Have fun with the data found here.
