My late first wife and I lived (in Australia) on a narrow street with
11KV power lines across the street. She died of breast cancer at age 46.
I know that one instance does not prove anything, but I am trying to
stay as far away as possible from power lines as we look for a new home.
(Yet trying to find a place with underground utilities and no CC&Rs
seems impossible.)

In the UK magazine "Electronics and Wireless World" (or whatever it is
called these days) ten years or so ago an article claimed that the
confusing research data did not take into account the different
frequencies used in different countries (60Hz vs. 50Hz) and that the
different frequencies have different effects (but I no longer recall
which was supposed to be worse -- or maybe neither was "worse" than the
other, simply different).

following message into cyberspace:

Especially if you have youngsters, you ought to stay out of that neighborhood.
The jury is still out on the correlation between power lines and various
cancers. For health considerations alone, look for a safe setting.
I suggest you research the studies on this subject.
