Life expectancy in the U.S. varies by more than 20 years depending on an individual's race and ethnicity and where they live.
These widespread and persistent life expectancy disparities have divided the country into " ten Americas ," according to new research.
The findings come nearly two decades after the landmark " Eight Americas " study.
Asian Americans (America 1) still had the longest life expectancy at birth, living on average 84 years .
AIAN people living in the West (America 10) were the only group to experience a drop in their life expectancy between 2000 and 2010 and again between 2010 and 2019 .
The findings suggest that differences in educational attainment and income likely explain some of the disparities in life expectancy.
