The Health (and Mental Hygiene) Department released some interesting reports that detail New Yorkers' health by neighborhood. You can check out a profile for where you live, which turns out to be a 16-page PDF listing various stats, like alcoholism, smoking, death rates, and other health issues, as well as giving other interesting demographics (population with age breaks or ethnicity, compared with NYC as a whole).
There are also a series of maps that show incidence of health issues. For instance, here's a map of binge drinking which is classified as 5 drinks or more; the city's average is 14%, and neighborhoods like Murray Hill/Gramercy Park and Greenwich Village are at 23%.
There are other maps for smoking, asthma, obesity, domestic abuse, HIV testing and more.

Staten Island: Fatty. Smoke-y. Not-so-beat-y.
I am writing to you from Keep BK Orange, a brooklyn-based coalition to support and enable binge drinking in the Borough of Brooklyn.
Congratulations to those of you who have drank hard to earn us our Orange status, but the fight is not over, so please continue to tip em back and Keep BK Orange!
There will be a rally at the Williamsburg Bridge the third Friday of every month, in which we will flood the bars of Manhattan to recruit drinkers to cross the bridge and celebrate our orange status...
Staten Island is SUCH a lush! She's the drunk girl of the city.

Governors Island must be the new party spot.
Hordes of inebriated yuppies, hipsters & bohos pointing their mocking, accusatory fingers at how drunk under-populated Staten Island is like the gigantic pot calling the tiny kettle black.
How about you all cut back on the alcohol before you go casting aspersions.
I suspect the true rates for Central Park may be higher than indicated on the map.
