Contribution
of Low SES to SF Burden of Disease
Precise estimates
of the effects of poverty on the overall burden of disease and injury
in San Francisco are difficult. The following the table below shows
median household income and % below poverty for the City as a whole
and for each zip code. The zip code links lead to web-based depictions
of the leading causes of premature mortality. The various zips cannot
be directly compared, as they differ demographically, but the poorest
neighborhoods have leading causes of premature mortality that are different
from the wealthiest neighborhoods.
