I need to know what the age cutoff is for which children count in this map. Is this counting all children or only the
ones that are 18+ years old?

It's not showing the mean. It's showing the median

I understand that, and my distance affects the median very little if at all.

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

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

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.

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

This graph says more about population density than anything else. Here’s a map:
