I understand that, and my distance affects the median very little if at all.
It affects the mean a bit more because based on the median, I am probably an outlier.

I lived ~1000 miles from my mom at the time she died and for the 15 years previous.

Did you move closer to her after she died?

Well, further actually. By about 4000 miles (we moved to England shortly after she died). Came back after a few years.

Who is "encouraged to leave"? And by whom?

Serving a mission, for example. Or attending BYU, BYUI, BYUH.

I think if you think anyone is flexing you are extra sensitive to living close to your mom

Not at all. I live 50 miles from my parents and still wish I lived much closer

Most people live close to home. Areas with more population density have smaller distances.

500 and it’s still too close

I need to know what the age cutoff is for which children count in this map. Is this counting all children or only the

Also, does the state correspond to where the mother lives or the child? There are going to be lots of people for whom
