Chart and table of U.S. life expectancy from 1950 to 2024. United Nations projections are also included through the year 2100. The current life expectancy for U.S. in 2024 is 79.25 years, a 0.18% increase from 2023. The life expectancy for U.S. in 2023 was 79.11 years, a 0.08% increase from 2022.
Here we present the 2021 period life table for the Social Security area population, as used in the 2024 Trustees Report (TR). For this table, the period life expectancy at a given age is the average remaining number of years expected prior to death for a person at that exact age, born on January 1, using the mortality rates for 2021 over the ...

The pandemic contributed to the decline in life expectancy, but there were other causes: chronic illness including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer; overdoses, suicides, and violence, often tied to underlying mental health challenges; and the pernicious stain of Black maternal mortality.
In 2022, life expectancy at age 65 for the total population was 18.9 years, an increase of 0.5 year from 2021. For males, life expectancy at age 65 increased 0.5 year from 17.0 in 2021 to 17.5 in 2022. For females, life expectancy at age 65 increased 0.5 year from 19.7 in 2021 to 20.2 in 2022.
Average American life expectancy, which had seen decades of improvement, has fallen for the past three consecutive years, according to a recent report by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Life expectancy at birth for the U.S. population in 2022 was 77.5 years, an increase from 76.4 years in 2021. Although life expectancy rose in 2022 for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began, it remains lower compared with prepandemic life expectancy in 2019 (78.8 years).
Life expectancy tells us the average number of years of life a person who has attained a given age can expect to live. Life expectancy estimates from the National Center for Health Statistics provide a reliable snapshot of population health and mortality in the United States.
For the third decade of the period (2044 to 2053), average life expectancies at birth and at age 65 are 81.6 years and 21.4 years in CBO’s projections—slightly lower than those estimated last year (81.8 years and 21.5 years, respectively).
The report includes projections of life expectancy from 2017 to 2060 and explores projected differences in mortality for men and women and for different race and Hispanic origin groups in the United States.
