How does hypoxia distribute with ozone depletion?

I don't imagine it correlates because the ozone layer is in the stratosphere, whereas we are in the troposphere. It would vary better with altitude (because atmospheric pressure will influence the partial pressure ('concentration') of oxygen), however the individuals who live at great altitudes adjust by increasing their levels of red blood cells and haemaglobin. It would affect newcomers from low altitudes - they need to adjust gradually to changing altitudes.
