In Some Parts of Bay Ridge, You Live Longer

Community Board 10 had a staffer from Brooklyn Borough President, Antonio Reynoso’s office at tonight’s meeting. (See video here) He basically read the health report, You can find it here.
The life expectancy map below has light pink and medium pink areas where people live longer than average. Regular red is average. Dark red is fewer years than average. We have some dark red blocks – what is causing that?

Is that dark red near The Owls Head Waterwater Treatment Plan?

The Adult Cancer map was very sad too. Light pink and medium pink are better than red and dark red. Why are some areas white?
Coney Island has a lot of dark red areas.
