Life expectancy in Oklahoma City varies by 18 years depending on zip code

KFOR -The Oklahoma City-County Health Department is putting billboards across the city to remind Oklahoma residents that where you live could affect how long you live.

"It's a shocking statistic," said Oklahoma City-County Health Department executive director Gary Cox.

The gap is 18 years.

It's the number that separates the average life expectancy age from the highest average zip code in Oklahoma City to the lowest.

The lowest life expectancy age, almost 64, is zip code 73145.
