Upon initially comparing the crude death rates by the community districts of Manhattan (59.5 per 10,000) and the Bronx (63.3 per 10,000), the Deputy Commissioner for Vital Statistics of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene asks for your help in further exploring mortality risk across Manhattan and the Bronx. In doing so, you see that there is substantial variation in mortality risk across even these crude age groupings. The table below shows data for the population breakdown by three age groups, # of deaths and the age-specific death rates by county for Manhattan and the Bronx in 2009. Manhattan Bronx Age (years) Population # Deaths ASDR (per 10,000) Population # Deaths ASDR (per 10,000) < 1 22,256 76 34.1 21,307 133 62.4 1 - 34 694,313 216 3.1 713,514 325 4.6 35 904,298 9,360 103.5 638,838 8,233 128.9 1,620,867 9,652 59.5 1,373,659 8,691 63.3 While comparing the crude mortality rates across Manhattan and the Bronx, it appeared that the mortality risk in the Bronx was slightly higher than that in Manhattan. Furthermore, when comparing the age-specific death rates, it appears that the risk of dying: Question 1 options: in Manhattan is higher, for every age
