Note: PYLLI-Potential Years of Life Lost Index. Refer to Figure 1 to clarify geographical location of Local Health Areas.
- There were seven Local Health Areas (LHAs) with statistically significant and high Potential Years of Life Lost Index (PYLLI) for under 75 years of age, for external causes of death or accidents and violence, based on at least five deaths in 2000. These LHAs, along with their PYLLI values for 2000 (number of deaths in parentheses) were:

- The above LHAs also had statistically significant and high PYLLI values for external causes of death (age under 75 years) in 1995-1999 with the exception of Prince Rupert, Howe Sound, and Abbotsford.
- Nine LHAs had PYLLI values for external causes in 2000 that were statistically significant and low, based on five or more deaths. The PYLLI for the five lowest LHAs (number of deaths in parentheses) were:

- All of the above LHAs also had statistically significant and low PYLLI values for external causes of death (age under 75 years) in 1995-1999.
- In the 1995-1999 period, a total of 23 LHAs had PYLLI values for external causes that were statistically significant and high. The five LHAs with the highest statistically significant index values for this five-year period (number of deaths in parentheses) were:
