Life expectancy at birth by race and sex, United StatesCDC/NCHS, National Vital Statistics System. In 2009, the average life expectancy of black men and women in the United States was just 75. That's roughly the same as the average life expectancy of white men and women in 1979 â 30 years earlier. The average life expectancy of black men in 2009 was just 71 (compared to 76 for white men). While such a significant gap is troubling, the 2009 black/white life expectancy gap was actually at an all-time low of 4 years. In 1950, that gap was almost twice as large.
If you just look at the general population (according to the NCHS In 2010) life expectancy for the black population was lower than for the white population, mostly due to disparities in death rates from heart disease, cancer, and homicide.
