NYC’s life expectancy hit a record 83.2 years in 2023, ahead of its 2030 goal, though racial gaps remain.
New York City’s life expectancy reached a record 83.2 years in 2023, up from 82.6 in 2022 and surpassing its 2030 goal, driven by declines in deaths from COVID-19, heart disease, and homicides.
Despite overall progress, racial disparities persist, with Black New Yorkers living about 78 years on average—five years less than white residents—due to higher rates of infant mortality and drug-related deaths.
The city’s infant mortality rate dropped to 4.2 per 1,000 births, and the overall death rate declined, though it remains above pre-pandemic levels.
Officials attribute ongoing inequities to systemic factors like racism and poverty, and emphasize data-driven efforts to close gaps.
