It can take a mile, 10 years out of your life?
In an interview, in which he spoke about the inequality, labour market, leadership candidate Sir Keir Starmer told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg : "Here in Somers Town , the Life Expectancy there is 10 years less than a mile up The Road . "
Somers Town is an area in the North of London, contains King's Cross and St Pancras station - The Office for National Statistics (ONS) calls for the area of Somers Town and St Pancras.
The Most recent Life Expectancy numbers go down to such small areas, when the Life Expectancy at birth for men was in the area is 77. 5 - for the women it was 81. 6.
The only area in London in male Life Expectancy 10 years higher than St Pancras and Somers Town , Knightsbridge and Belgravia, where the Life Expectancy for men at birth was 89. 1, and for the women it was 91. 5.
the boundaries of The two areas are one and a half miles away from each other, so only a touch More Than Sir Keir suggested.
We've contacted, to check his office, these were the areas in which he has referred, but, so far, no response.
Larger deviationsEven closer than in Knightsbridge, Holborn and Covent Garden , which is less than half a mile away, and female Life Expectancy of 90. 2, although its male Life Expectancy a lot More Than Somers Town , in the 79. 4.
"If you look at data for larger areas such as local authorities in London, the differences are small," says Veena Raleigh, senior fellow at the health charity The King 's Fund.
"But we are right to look at smaller areas, because they pick up greater variations, such as when a social housing with much higher levels of illness and death, as somewhere in the vicinity. "
It's not just London, the such variations. In Liverpool, for example, the parish of Kirkdale, the Life Expectancy of 71. 6 for males and 76. 8, for women, while less than three miles up The Road , the Childwall Life Expectancy is down for the men of 83. 1 and 85. 9 for the women.
There are other parts of London with the striking differences in Life Expectancy across small areas.
This tragedy was highlighted at the time of Grenfell Tower . The Tower is in the area of Notting barns, which had a Life Expectancy for men is 77 4 in 2009-13 and 85. 5 for women.
Only about half a mile to the South of The Tower , the area is called, in Holland, where the Life Expectancy at birth of 86. 7 for men, and 92. 9 for women (the highest in London).
These figures are calculated over a period of five years, in order to be more robust, but they are still very small areas to calculate Life Expectancy for.
For example, while there is the Central figure of 77. 5 for men in St Pancras and Somers Town , says the ONS is 95% confident that the actual number is Somewhere Between 75. 8 and 79. 2.
Nonetheless, the differences that we have spoken, are so great, you're also out of error.
< p > Good healthThe data also includes figures for healthy Life Expectancy , which is The Number of years that someone can expect, in good health life.
The inequality in this area is even greater. For St Pancras and Somers Town , both male and female healthy Life Expectancy at birth of 55 amounted to years, while in Knightsbridge and Belgravia, it was 79. 1 for men and 78. 3 for women.
"That reflects a national position, where differences in healthy Life Expectancy about twice as differences in Life Expectancy ," Veena Raleigh said, to a "Reality Check ".
"The differences in mortality are only the tip of The Iceberg . "
