About this ranking

Average number of years a newborn would live at current age-specific mortality, both sexes.

United States: NCHS period life tables. National figures from 1900 to 1932 cover only the states then in the death registration area. State figures are available for 2018 to 2021.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the municipalities are compared on one definition. 7 municipalities with data in other periods have no value for 2018 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
