The method developed by C.L. Chiang was used to compute life expectancy.
In 2008 the Post Office created a new ZIP Code (84081) from two existing ZIP Codes (84084 and 84088) in Salt Lake County.
This change affected the boundaries for "West Jordan North (84084)" and "West Jordan/Copperton (84088, 84006)". We had to
discontinue these and create three new Small Areas in their place.
Beginning with the 2009 data, ZIP Code 84084 will define "West Jordan Northeast". ZIP Code 84088 will define "West Jordan
Southeast". And the new ZIP Code 84081 combined with 84006 will define "West Jordan West/Copperton". The new Small Areas in
West Jordan are not comparable to the previous designations for 84084, 84088, and 84006.

Data Sources
Utah Death Certificate Database, Office of Vital Records and Statistics, Utah Department of Health.
The population estimates were produced by staff in the Utah Department of Health Center for Health Data. Linear interpolation
of U.S. Census Bureau and ESRI ZIP Code data provided annual population estimates for ZIP Code areas by sex and age groups.
Life expectancy is an estimate of the expected average number of years of life (or a person's age at death) for individuals
who were born into a particular population.
