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

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

Life expectancy at birth in Hawaii, Washington, California, and New York are among the longest in the nation, while life expectancy at birth in Mississippi, American Samoa, and West Virginia are among the shortest in the nation.

History

The life expectancy in some states has fallen in recent years. For example, Maine's life expectancy in 2010 was 79.1 years. In 2018, it was 78.7 years. In November 2018, overall life expectancy in the United States was declining. In 2018, US life expectancy had a slight increase of 0.1, and returning it to 2010 levels.^[5]

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,^[6] 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.^[7] Data in the 2010 columns comes from Health Data.^[8]

Data of the United States Mortality DataBase

The table below contains data about percentage surving in the US on average in comparison to the data for the states of New York and California.

Males living in California are slightly more likely to overcome the 100-year mark than males living in New York. But females are slightly rarer.
