About as far north as the Mississippi/Tenn border, generally south of I-40. Grows as far west as the SE corner of Arkansas. Anywhere north and west of there is either too cold or too dry.
Not sure of its spread along the Atlantic coast area (Carolinas, etc)
Kudzu is one of the 4 fastest growing plants on the planet. Including bamboo, kelp and corn, kudzu can grow up to 1 foot (12 inches) a day. Kelp is faster, at 2 feet.

Please tell me you're not trying to grow kudzu on purpose. If you are located in the United States, there is a ban in most all states from any type of kudzu propagation be it commercially or privately. (from Greenwood Nursery)
Kudzu needs water and the southwest is too dry. It is a very invasive plant and many are trying to stop its spread.
Deciduous trees donÕt grow too far north because the climate is too cold. These trees are used to certain climates and temperatures.
None, as far as it actually being dangerous to your health. Most people who have lived in an area with kudzu or "The plant the ate the south" would recommend you not turn your back on it. : )
Eventually invasive plants crowd out other plants. An example of this is kudzu. Even with harsh chemicals, it can take 15 years to get rid of a patch of kudzu. Two known herbicides even make kudzu grow faster!
