Life expectancy map of Scotland shows how long you could live - check your area

New research has revealed the life expectancy for those living across the different postcode areas in Scotland.

According to research by Health Equals, there is a huge seven years difference on average when it comes to life expectancy across areas of Scotland. Based on ONS data from babies born this year, the researchers were able to analyse the areas with the highest life expectancy not just across Scotland but the entire UK.

The lowest life expectancy in Scotland was those living in 24 postcode areas across Glasgow, with an average life expectancy of 76. On the other end of the scale are areas of the Scottish Borders, with those living in a TD5 or TD12 postcode area expected to live until 83 on average.
