With respect to four floor walkup, by this logic, excepting other factors which might negate it, you would expect there to be a preponderance of exceptionally aged people in New York.

Not if the benefits of stairs are outweighed by the dangers of pollution (both air and noise).

It appears that living in New York shortens your lifespan quite significantly (possibly due to air pollution). Income-adjusted, New Yorkers die a few years too young, and there is a higher incidence of cancer than other places. https://www.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/vs/2015sum.pdf https://www.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/vs/2015sum.pdf

  That document doesn’t seem to compare things to national rates, but to my knowledge the NYC life expectancy is above NY state’s, which itself is significantly above the national average. The densest parts of Manhattan, which also have some of the most air pollution (but high incomes) have the highest life expectancies. With a brief googling it looks like cancer incidence is in line with national averages, but mortality is lower. Significant racial and socioeconomic disparities impact both averages.

    When you adjust for income, NYC does pretty poorly. Non-income-adjusted, one of the richest places on the planet is in line with its surroundings, yes.

      Your source doesn't support that (no comparison with other places), and other sources don't seem to back it up. See the "Local Life Expectancies by Income" chart here: https://www.healthinequality.org/ https://www.healthinequality.org/. It seems generally that high income people have comparable life expectancies across the country, whereas there is much higher variability among lower incomes.
