The graph above shows life expectancy (from birth) in the United States from 1860 to 2020.  Remarkable increase due to better sanitation, improvements to the environment and health care.

The tables below shows the years remaining in your life on average.

Women live longer then men.  For a child born in 2020 the difference is nearly 5 years. For people who have reached 75 the difference is less than 2 years. And by the time you reach 115 the difference is zero.
