List of U.S. states and territories by life expectancy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article presents a list of United States states and territories sorted by their life expectancy at birth, by sex, by race, and in the past.

The remaining life expectancy is the expected remaining number of years of life as a function of current age. Life expectancy at birth is indicated above the "0" current age. 2020 statistics.[1]

According to a 2023 estimate by the United Nations, the life expectancy in the US during 2023 was 79.30 years (76.86 for males, 81.85 for females).[5] During the same year, the World Bank Group calculated 78.39 years (75.80 for male, 81.10 for female).

According to the WHO's 2019 estimation, life expectancy in the US was 78.74 years (76.53 years for males, 80.98 years for females).
The healthy life expectancy was 66.02 years (65.13 years for males, 66.93 years for females).[6] States with the highest life expectancy included California, Hawaii, New York, Minnesota, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. At the bottom of the list were Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, West Virginia, and Mississippi.[7][8][9]

History

The life expectancy has fallen in recent years in some states. For example, Maine's life expectancy in 2010 was 79.1 years; in 2018, it was 78.7 years. In 2018, US life expectancy had a slight increase of 0.1, returning it to 2010 levels. However, by November, overall life expectancy in the United States was again declining.[10]

Methodology

The data in the 2018 column is from work funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for the 50 states and the District of Columbia,[11] from the World Bank for Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and from the CIA World Factbook for American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands.[12] Data in the 2010 columns comes from Health Data.[13]

Probability of dying, 2015–2019

The below tables measure the proportion of people who die at a given age.

The probability of dying in the US for males and females at each year. The chart is made in two versions: linear and logarithmic scales.
By the age of 109, the probability of dying reaches 53% for male and 50% for female. The probability of dying between ages 40 and 90 doubles every 8.4 years for male and 7.9 years for female.[9]
