List of French departments by life expectancy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Metropolitan France is administratively divided into 13 regions. The regions are in turn divided into departments, of which there are 96 in total. In addition, France includes a number of overseas territories, 5 of which have a status equal to departments and regions in the metropolitan area.

According to estimation of the United Nations, in 2023 life expectancy in France was 83.33 years (80.43 for male, 86.09 for female).[1]

Estimation of the World Bank Group for 2023: 82.93 years total (80.10 for male, 85.90 for female).[2]

Estimation of Eurostat for 2023: 83.0 years total (80.1 for male, 85.7 for female).[3][4]

According to estimation of the WHO for 2019, at that year life expectancy in France was 82.53 years (79.77 years for male and 85.15 years for female).
And healthy life expectancy was 70.72 years (69.78 years for male and 71.60 years for female).[5]

Life expectancy in France as of 2023 is lower than in neighboring Spain, Italy and Switzerland. However, it is higher than in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom.[1][2][3][4]

Statistics by region

The official statistics of France, available on the INSEE website, do not include total life expectancy for the population as a whole. For a more correct comparison of regions with various differences in life expectancy for men and women, a column with the arithmetic mean of these indicators was added to the tables.INSEE has been publishing on its website tabular data on life expectancy in regions and departments since 2015. By default tables are sorted by arithmetic mean for 2024.
