Race and place can contribute to shorter lives, research suggests

Summary

American Indians in Western and Midwestern states have the shortest life expectancy as of 2021 , 63.6 years .

White residents live shorter lives in Appalachia and some Southern states, as do Black residents in highly segregated cities and in the rural South .

Asian Americans nationwide have the longest life expectancy at 84 , yet can also suffer from stereotypes and locality based problems that prevent them from getting the best care.

Latinos live shorter lives in the Southwest ( 76.4 ) than elsewhere ( 79.4 ), and white people live longer ( 77.2 ) If they’re not in Appalachia or the lower Mississippi Valley ( 71.1 ), or in rural areas and low-income Northern states.

More research at a very local level is needed to find the policies and practices needed to start bridging gaps.
