Like lots of counties in the UK, the health inequalities in Bridgend are stark. There is a 10-year gap between the area with the highest life expectancy and the village with one of the lowest.
In Litchard, people live on average to be 84.25 years old. While the local figures have not yet been broken down to local areas from 2021 statistics, the 2011 census showed that there is a worrying difference in life expectancy across the county. That's because just 3.9 miles away from Litchard in Bettws, people are only expected to live to be 75 years old.
These were some of the other areas with the lowest life expectancies in Bridgend according to the 2011 census, showing the places where people are not expected to live past the age of 77.
