TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS

TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS

Interstate 35W under construction in June 1966, looking north toward downtown Minneapolis and the Foshay Tower. The nearest bridge is 46th Street.

SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH

The strongest predictors of health status are the factors that are known as social determinants of health. These factors include educational and employment

• pportunities, housing, transportation options, neighborhood safety, and access to

recreation areas and food options that support a healthy lifestyle.

INFANT MORTALITY BY COMMUNITY

Infant mortality is defined as a death occurring before the first birthday. It is a strong indicator of population health because it is affected by policies, access to healthcare, economics, environment, social well-being and general living conditions.

PREMATURE DEATHS IN MINNEAPOLIS

Age-adjusted premature* death rate per 1,000 residents, by neighborhood (2000 – 2010)

0.0 – 1.0 1.01 – 2.0 2.01 – 3.0 3.01 – 4.0 4.01 – 10.0 * Premature death is defined as a death occurring before age 65

People with lower incomes lead shorter lives Retires at age 65 are living longer than ever before, but not equally: those with the earnings in the top half of the income distribution have seen their life expectancy increase by more than 6 years since the 1970s, while those in the bottom half have

• nly seen a 1.3 year increase during

the same time.
