Mortality rates for non-Indigenous men
• Higher mortality in more remote areas is not due
exclusively to the higher proportion of Indigenous males.
• Compared with non-Indigenous males in Major cities,
non-Indigenous male death rates were still 10–20% higher.
A non-Indigenous boy born in a Very remote area in 2006 could
expect to live to 77.7 years (compared to 80.8 years in Major cities)
