According to a 2018 analysis, Downtown resi- dents are healthier than New Yorkers as a whole (and also beat national averages) on me- trics like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and the prevalence of smoking. Even so, the City’s Department of Health clucks that our area hosts the second-highest proliferation of to- bacco retailers anywhere in the five boroughs. The same analysis says that local air pollution is the fourth-worst among all New York City communities, with 11.1 micrograms of fine partic- ulate matter per cubic meter. But with 89 percent of locals reporting their own health as “good, very good, or excellent,” we seem hardly impacted by these indicators. And perhaps the best gauge of a community’s well-being is the following: In an average year, according to the Department of City Planning, 168 lower Manhattan residents leave this world, while 1,191 new babies open their eyes and smile for the first time.
