Residents of Roland Park, Baltimore鈥檚 wealthiest neighborhood, live to an average age of 84 鈥� matching the life expectancy of Japan, the nation where citizens live longer, on average, than any country in the world. In Sandtown, where Freddie Gray lived and the median household income is less than a quarter of Roland Park鈥檚, the life expectancy is 70 years. That鈥檚 matches the average life expectancy in North Korea, an impoverished dictatorship where millions suffer from chronic undernourishment, according to the United Nations.
At 66 years, Downtown/Seton Hill and Greenmount East have the city鈥檚 lowest life expectancy, matching India and Pakistan.
