The eastern side of the state lays claim to six of the nation's top 18 counties with the highest thyroid-cancer rates, according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Pennsylvania ranked as the No. 1 state in thyroid-cancer cases between 2001 and 2005, 12.8 cases per 100,000 residents.
Other states with higher flu rates in 2013: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, Idaho and Oregon, with rates ranging from 2.1 percent to 2.3 percent. Gallup researchers noted that California is the only state to consistently be in the top 10 states with the highest flu rates since tracking began in 2008. Meanwhile, people in Vermont, North Dakota and South Carolina can rejoice: Flu rates in those states were the lowest in 2013, averaging 0.8 percent each. Alabama, Wyoming, Mississippi, Alaska, Kansas, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Wisconsin also boasted low flu rates, with 0.9 to 1.2 percent of adult residents in those states saying they had the flu in 2013.
