life expectancy in the los angeles area
DESCRIPTION
This very interesting Life Expectancy at Birth chart from the American Human Development Project from the California Department of Public Health. According to the chart it appears that most of the affluent Westside Los Angeles areas have the highest life expectancy rate. Is it due to the fact in these areas people can afford better health care, perhaps due to lower crime rates or maybe cleaner air? Now that this has been published would love to know more as to why they feel this is the case. In the meantime, if you don’t live in the Westside, you may want to move.TRANSCRIPT

Life expectancy at birth was calculated by the American Human Development Project with mortality data from the California Department of Public Health, Center for Health Statistics and population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau for the years 2006-2008. Life expectancy for California and the United States was 80.1 and 78.6, respectively. Data were classified by quintile.
