California County Has The 'Shortest Life Expectancy' In The Entire State

Aging is inevitable.

While everyone has no choice but to undergo this convoluted yet beautiful process, there is one county in each state where residents have shorter life spans (on average) than people scattered throughout the rest of the state.

Be it increased pollution, limited healthcare, or poor routine, something about this specific California county gives it the reputation of being the place where people die the youngest in the entire state.

According to Stacker , Trinity County has the shortest life expectancy in California . Residents in this county live to be 73.9 years on average (6 years less than the state average).

Here's what Stacker had to say about compiling the data to discover the counties with the lowest life expectancies in each state:

"Stacker used 2024 County Health Rankings & Roadmaps from the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute to identify the counties with the shortest life expectancy. Life expectancy measures the average number of years from birth a person can expect to live and is calculated based on the number of deaths in a given time period and the average number of people at risk of dying during that period. Counties with unreliable or insufficient data were excluded from the analysis. Mortality data came from the National Vital Statistics System."
