Abstract
Age adjusted total death rates for 1949-1951 were highest in cities over 100,000, and lowest in the metropolitan (suburban) rural area. Excess urban mortality was confined almost entirely to the age span 35 to 65 years of age, and was much greater for males than for females. Between the ages 55 and 75 among males, and 45 and 75 among females, the death rates were higher in the metropolitan than in the non-metropolitan rural areas. It is suggested that the high standard of living in the metropolitan rural areas is offset to a degree by negative factors related in some way to the urban aspects of suburban life.Keywords
