VitaminDWiki tried, without success, to leave the following comment at NYT
Colorado has the best ultraviolet radiation in the US, and thus has the lowest rate of many health problems - because UVB creates more vitamin D. Florida has more UV, but higher temperatures, so people in Florida stay indoors more. Details, along with many maps are at https://vitamindwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page_id=4652.
