This report uses the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017 National Population Projections to examine potential mortality and life expectancy changes in the coming decades. To provide historical context, we draw extensively on life expectancy data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The report includes projections of life expectancy from 2017 to 2060 and explores projected differences in mortality for men and women and for different race and Hispanic origin groups in the United States. The report also focuses on projected life expectancy differences between the native and foreign-born populations. The mortality projections covered in this report are based on the first nativity-specific life tables and life expectancies to be published by the U.S. Census Bureau.
