Life expectancy is the ultimate measure of a neighborhood’s well-being, and many of the map’s bright red splotches designating the lowest rates in the city line up neatly with the places where Monday night’s violence occurred. “Health equity is a civil rights issue,” Dr. Leana Wen, Baltimore’s health commissioner, said in an interview. “We’re often told we grow up in the land of two Baltimores.
