In collaboration with MAP researchers, The Local Magazine has produced the first-ever neighbourhood-level analysis of life expectancy in Toronto. Neighbourhoods separated by just a few TTC stops can be worlds apart in terms of how residents experience life, and death. Check out the analysis and stories below:
- “Wealth brings privileges, and one of them is longer life.” Life Expectancy Varies by Almost 12 Years Across Toronto Neighbourhoods featuring Dr. Stephen Hwang
- “Income, immigration status, transit and walkability, access to services, housing conditions…there are a lot of factors that come into play.” Why a Two-Kilometre Strip of Yonge Street Has the Highest Life Expectancy in Toronto featuring Dr. Andrew Pinto
- “People experiencing homelessness have remarkably low life expectancies.” Moss Park’s Lost Years featuring Dr. Stephen Hwang
