This from the New York Daily News. Which is the most sedentary nabe in NYC? They say Sunset Park.

A new city report found people who live in Sunset Park Brooklyn are least likely to exercise of all New Yorkers. In fact, 57% admitted
they are sedentary, while residents of Greenwich Village and SoHo hit
the gym on a regular basis.

Meanwhile, Staten Island is still the smoking capital of the city,
especially the South Shore and Mid Island sections, where 33% of
residents smoke,

The updated Community Health Profiles released by the Department of
Health use yearly phone surveys and other data to measure health
indicators such as depression, asthma, diabetes and smoking in 42
neighborhoods.

Some conclusions:

East Harlem residents may exercise a bit more than those in
Sunset Park, but they should lay off the fried foods – 31% say they are
obese.

 

Binge drinking – defined as having five or more drinks in a night – is highest in Chelsea.

But don’t drown your sorrows in a pint of beer or ice cream. There is some good news for New Yorkers.

More people have regular doctors – a key to staying healthy. And fewer people are likely to smoke.

"Our city is getting healthier, but we still see large differences
among neighborhoods," said Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden.

While HIV-related deaths have dropped in recent years, they are still
10 times higher in the Morrisania and Highbridge sections of the Bronx
than in the borough’s more upscale neighborhoods of Riverdale and
Kingsbridge.

East Harlem has the dubious distinction of having the highest death
rate (1,084 per 100,000 people), while the rate in West Central Queens
is the lowest at 461.

"We know about one-fifth of all New Yorkers are obese," said Cari
Olson, a research scientist at the Bureau of Epidemiology Services.
"That is as low as 1 in 10 people on the upper East Side and as high as
3 in 10 in East Harlem. Those are major disparities and the condition
is rising."

Olson said the Health Department will use the information to direct
programming in certain areas and let health providers and community
leaders know what the issues are in their neighborhoods.

"We really want people to know about their neighborhoods and we have a Web site where people can do that," Olson said.
