According to a recent study, San Joseans live longer than residents of any other city in the United States.
The study, conducted by The Daily Beast, examined lifespan data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention going back ten years, and found that local men live to be 79.2, on average, while women live to be 82.9.
The article has received comments from current and former residents of San Jose—a number of which are well worth reading.
