SF residents' health measured in new report card
Story posted 2010.09.23 at 03:46 PM PDTA consortium of public and private health groups has put together a report about the health of San Francisco residents.
The Community Vital Signs report will be introduced online on Thursday. Officials say it will include numerous facts about the city's health, helping them identify areas of concern.
Among the information in the report: Bayview Hunters Point residents can expect to live 14 fewer years on average than people who live on Russian Hill; and suicide is the fourth-leading cause of early death among whites in the city, but the eighth-leading cause among Latinos.
Officials tell the San Francisco Chronicle the report card will have more health statistics than the city's health website, Health Matters in San Francisco. The data will also allow comparisons with the state and other counties.
