How did they collect the data? I don't remember receiving a survey.
Did anyone else on TownTalk receive a survey?

------------------------------------

We analyzed over 41 places in Maryland to identify the ones that are going grey at a young age.

WOW!!!

Definitely a list the town should not want to be #1 on.  Looks like the town leadership has a lot of work ahead of them:

It's no surprise that Maryland is home<image001.png><http://washington.cbslocal.com/2016/05/25/see-if-your-town-is-one-of-the-10-most-stressed-places-in-maryland/> to plenty of stressed out people when you consider the high cost of living in many areas, long commutes from D.C. and more. But what residents most need a vacation?
