I know this is a tough question to answer, but I just thought I’d ask in case someone has experienced a DN location that meets the criteria.
Thanks!

Maybe have a look into the blue zones? People there often live to 100. The blue zones are Okinawa (Japan), Sardinia (Italy), Ikaria (Greece), Loma Linda (USA), Nicoya Peninsula (Costa Rica).
Loma Linda? I used to live one town over in San Bernardino. Can’t say I remember people living to 100. Surely someone might have noticed!
Watch the new docuseries on Netflix. I think it’s called Live to 100: Blue Zone or vice versa.
Perhaps it’s true but I suspect that if there was one town in S. Calif. that people lived to 100 in every news media, and there are plenty there, wold be all over such a story. I only lived three miles away myself, I may be immortal! Actually both towns are at the end of the LA basin and have always suffered from extreme afternoon air pollution. Maybe pollution is good for you.
FYI I did a bunch of research on the Blue Zones (I got sucked into a rabbit hole) and the community-oriented nature of these communities contributes just as much to if not more than the food. So the diets here aren’t necessarily better than reasonable diets anywhere else.
I also remember reading about a tight knit Italian community in Pennsylvania that ate a standard (read: horrible) American diet but were significantly healthier, and once they weren’t as isolated anymore, their health metrics became the same as everyone else.
