I reclassified the result. |

I picked up the two areas.
Central coast (as a example of high risk areas index: = 0.844) and |
In comparison, those areas have many similarities on
the socio-economic factors, but not on the health related factors. Central
Coast area has definitely higher numbers on the health related factors.
The high rate of infant mortality is noticeable. The remarkable difference
on the socio-economic factor is the ratio of the aboriginal population.
Central Coast area's ratio is 8.19 and Fernin area's is 1.13. I think
many aboriginal people have been dealing with the issues of alcohols
and drugs in British Columbia. It seems that they are related in that
area. However, I can not say that the aboriginal people contributed
to the high ratio of alcohol and drug induced deaths in Central Coast
area from my data. What I can say is that the high ratio of aboriginal
population and the high ratio of the health related factors are the
characteristics of that area.
