Really interesting factoids, but more in a "my kid has to do a report on stroke" way than a "this information can help me, personally, today" way.

This is an excellent summary of the risk factors for stroke laid out in an easy-to-read graphical format. You can look at different regions of the world and compare which risk factors are most prevalent with the economic status of the country.
