New Data Shows Life Expectancy Varies Within Phoenix, Other Cities

New research shows a 20-plus year discrepancy in life expectancy in different parts of Phoenix.

The new city health dashboard takes data from a number of metrics, including education, income, unemployment, access to parks, smoking and access to health care.

Oktawia Wojcik, a program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation — which helped compile the results — joined the Show to talk about this.
