This question has come up before with this map, and I answered it under my (since banned) lemmy world account.

I believe it has to do with elevation and physical activity. Somebody in the prior near identical thread posted a county level map and it seemed to correlate with mountains and cities. Mountains have elevation and cities involve more walking.
