There are pretty big differences in life expectancy here in Scotland - which given that it is heavily location based suggests that "socioeconomic status" plays a huge role.

"Men in the least deprived areas of Scotland may live 12.5 years longer than those in the most deprived areas while women in the least deprived areas could expect to live 8.5 years longer than those in the most deprived."
