List of Mexican states by life expectancy

The following is the list of the States of Mexico by life expectancy. The country is administratively divided into 32 federative entities (Spanish: entidades federativas): 31 states and Mexico City. Mexico has seen declines in some states due to increasing crime in many Mexican cities, especially Ciudad Juarez.

The Data in the 2017 and 2010 columns come from the IHME GBD Results tool. Life Expectancy In Mexico saw large increases before 1990 but recent events involving increased drug activity and increased crime within the cities of Mexico. For example, Campeche had a Life Expectancy in 2010 of 76.30 years and it has declined to 75.07 years. This was primarily due to increased cartel activity within the state.

According to estimation of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (abbr. INEGI), in 2023 life expectancy in the country was 75.3 years (72.3 for male, 78.6 for female).^[1]

According to estimation of the United Nations, in 2023 life expectancy in Mexico was 75.07 years (72.24 for male, 77.81 for female).^[2]

Estimation of the World Bank Group for Mexico for 2023 is exactly the same: 75.07 years (72.24 for male, 77.81 for female).^[3]

According to estimation of the WHO for 2019, at that year life expectancy in Mexico was 75.83 years (72.80 for male and 78.89 for female).
And healthy life expectancy was 65.46 years (63.92 for male and 67.02 for female).^[4]

In 2013, Mexico had a local maximum in life expectancy, so this year has been added to the table for comparison.
