1.     Neighborhood: Select a neighborhood in Cincinnati to display the top leading causes of premature death in that neighborhood.

2.     Cause of Death: With all neighborhoods selected, select a cause of death to compare excess years of life lost across all neighborhoods.

3.     Time: Use one of the three time periods to drill down into a specific time-frame.

The Cincinnati Health Department’s goal is to improve life expectancy in Cincinnati by reducing premature death. Premature deaths that happen at unusually high rates in some geographic areas may be more preventable, so we measure excess years of life lost, which measures the extent to which each neighborhood exceeds the city wide rate.
