1900-2018 — Life Expectancy for the United States as a Whole

National Center for Health Statistics. Health, United States, 2019: Table 4. Hyattsville, MD. 2021.
Life expectancy at birth (1900-2018), age 65 (1950-2018), and age 75 (1980-2018), selected years 1900–2018.
Available from: cdc.gov/nchs/hus/contents2019.htm

Bucky Stats values for the years between 1900, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1975, and 1980 are linear estimates between those reported data points.

Data points for 1900 and 1950 came with disclaimers \4 and \5. Data point 1960 has disclaimer \4 At birth, and has \5 At 65. Data points 2017 and 2018 have disclaimer \6.

"Disclaimer \4: The death registration area increased from 10 states and the District of Columbia (D.C.) in 1900 to all 48 states and D.C. in 1933. Alaska and Hawaii were included in 1959 and 1960, respectively. See Appendix II, Registration area.
Disclaimer \5: Includes deaths of persons who were not residents of the registration areas.
Disclaimer \6: Estimates for 2017 were revised using updated Medicare data; therefore, these values may differ from previous editions of Health, United States. Estimates for 2018 are based on final Medicare data."
