Life Expectancy in Oregon by Census Tract

In 2018, the U.S. Small-area Life Expectancy Estimates Project (USALEEP) produced a report and first-of-its-kind interactive map that showed life expectancy by census tract across the United States. Public health officials, community leaders, and others working to improve health can access census tract level data from 2010-2015 to measure and compare differences in life expectancy in nearly every neighborhood across the country.​

The data shows estimated life expectancy at birth for the period 2010-2015. Life expectancy at birth is the average number of years a newborn is expected to live if mortality rates at the time of birth remain the same. Census tracts include an average of 4,000 people who typically have similar characteristics, such as social and economic status.

USALEEP is a joint effort of the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The report is based on state death records and population estimates from the U.S. Bureau of the Census.
