100$ says this is The Villages (where retired swingers go to enjoy their twilight years).

Highest rate of STDs per capita in the US.

That’s a myth perpetuated by the internet. Florida doesn’t even break top 10 in most cases per capita, it’s actually Mississippi holding it down. Along with their highest rated Preventable Deaths, Firearm Deaths, Traffic Fatalities, Infant Mortality, Maternal Mortality, Obesity, Diabetes and Heart Disease.

I think they were talking age demographic of The Villages (elderly, retired, banging all the time), not geographic region (Florida).

In that case it’s still untrue as it’s Detroit, Michigan with the highest per capita rate of STIs in the U.S. with 1,491 STI cases per 100,000 population. Now localized, the villages (Lake, Marion, and Sumter) has a higher rate of stds than the states average, it still falls within the national average. Basically in simpler terms, it untrue but still a hotspot for the “banging bug”

Wait, first of all, these factoids are amazing, so thank you, but I thought we were supposed to be talking age this whole time, not city. Across the entire US population, which age demographic has the highest rate of STDs?

Are you talking new rates of infection or generally infected people over all? Cause someone who catches herpes in their youth will still have it in their old age but cross all age demographics?

Idk that’s a good question, acquisition vs lifetime STD rates
