Life Expectancy: Could where you live influence how long you live?

The latest estimates of life expectancy reveal differences down to the census tract level. Use the calculator and interactive map to explore how life expectancy in America compares with life expectancy in your area, and resources to help everyone have the opportunity to live a longer, healthier life.
