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.
1 While a 1-year difference in life expectancy should be considered sizeable, we found that in 2008 white males with 16+ years of education now live 14.2 years longer than black men with less than 12 years of education. 2  The difference is 10.3 years for women. Age categories: life expectancy at birth, 20, 25, 40, 60, 65, 80. 2  Life expectancy should be interpreted as expected remaining years of life. 3  Deaths were drawn from Multiple Cause of Death data files from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) â this includes all deaths recorded among U.S. residents.
