From my friend Patrick at the Toronto Star:
http://www3.thestar.com/static/googlemaps/starmaps_090610.html?xml=DEATH
_WEEK1_age.xml
"Within the City of Toronto, we see a rough relationship between income
and lifespan. High average ages at death cluster along the high-income
Yonge St. corridor with pockets in Hillcrest Village and the Kingsway,
while low average ages cluster in traditionally poor neighbourhoods in
parts of the west end and east downtown. In Halton and Peel, we see
generally longer average lifespans along the lake shore."
It adds up to a good 15 years of life --
"Here are the top 10 neighbourhoods for average lifespan:
M6A Lawrence Manor/Lawrence Heights 83.4
L6B Eastern Markham 82.75
M5N SE of Lawrence/Bathurst 81.97
M4N Lawrence Park 81.16
L5K Mississauga, Dundas and Winston Churchill 80.77
M8X The Kingsway 80.76
M5P Annex 80.62
M2L E York Mills 80.33
M5R Annex 80.27
M4T Moore Park 80.15
and the 10 lowest:
L4P Georgina Township/Keswick 67.97
L3X SW Newmarket 67.52
L4E Temperanceville (Vaughan/King) 67.01
