Life expectancy
Life expectancy at birth is an estimate of the average length of time that a person can expect to live, assuming that the current mortality rates for each age group will remain constant for the lifetime of that person. Mortality rates can, however, be expected to change during a person's lifetime.
Details of the spread in life expectancy results across the state are presented in the maps, charts and tables provided.
