Life expectancy at birth, by race, Hispanic origin and sex U.S. 2019-2021
This statistic displays the life expectancy of the population in the United States from 2019 to 2021 by Hispanic origin, race, and ethnicity. In 2021, people who identify as Asian had a projected life expectancy of 85.6 years, the highest in the United States, whereas an American Indian or Alaska native had the lowest with 65.2 years. From 2019 to 2021, life expectancy at birth declined in the U.S., regardless of race and ethnicity. One of the main drivers of this decline is the COVID-19 pandemic.
