    While men in Knightsbridge have the highest life expectancy in the country at 94.1 years, the lowest can be found in South Promenade, Blackpool at 66.6 years.

    In Milton Keynes, there is a 15.1 year difference between the highest life expectancy and the lowest. Women in Tattenhoe Park, Tattenhoe and Emerson Valley have the highest life expectancy in the city at 88.1 years, 5 years above average.

    Men in the same area have a life expectancy of 84.5 years, 5.2 years above average.

    At 73 years for men and 78.6 years for women in Fenny Stratford, Denbigh, Mount Farm, Simpson, Tinkers bridge, Netherfield, Bleakhall, Beanhill and parts of Coffee hall, they are the areas with the lowest life expectancy in the city 6.3 years below average for men and 4.5 years below average for women.

    In Woughton on the Green, Eaglestone and Fishermead the analysis shows above average mortality for stroke (+119.4%).
