Jersey ranks 20th in the nation for life expectancy, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health
Statistics.
Life
expectancy at birth declined 2.6 years in New Jersey in 2020 from 80.1 years in
2019 to 77.5 in 2020. The average New Jersey woman will live to about 80, while
the average male will make it to about 74.
The
CDC is attributing it to multiple factors, including COVID-19, unintentional
injuries and overdoses, among other things.
Hawaii has the longest life expectancy at 80.7 years.
Mississippi has the shortest at 71.9 years.
