City Dwellers Outlive Rural Residents
Washington dispatch reports census office findings show people in towns with over 25 600 inhabitants live about seven years longer than rural residents. Urban longevity grows with city life despite trolley risks, while rural areas lag behind. The census notes mid century life expectancy rose from 15.97 years to 24.85 years, with about one quarter of the population under twenty. Women in the productive 45 to 60 bracket fib about ages, a trend strongest among Black and foreign-born whites. Centenarian counts are greatly exaggerated, especially in certain classes.
