Living life in the moment is a beautiful thing, experiencing the here and now while exploring the beauties of life. Some people, however, look toward what the future may bring and wonder how much time they may have. Life expectancy can vary depending on where you live and whether you have access to factors impacting health like quality medical care , or clean water and healthy food.
According to a list compiled by Stacker , Williamson County was named the area with the longest life expectancy in all of Tennessee, coming out on top of the 95 counties in the Volunteer State. The county, found south of Nashville, has an average life expectancy of 81.3 years, 7.2 years higher than the state average.
Here are the the Top 10 counties with the longest life expectancy in the state:
Williamson County
Moore County
Wilson County
Bledsoe County
(TIE) Loudon County & Sumner County & Rutherford County & Fayette County
N/A

Pickett County
Hamilton County
This is how Stacker determined its ranking of the counties with the longest life expectancy in the state:
"By delving into 2024 County Health Rankings & Roadmaps from the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, Stacker identified the counties with the longest life expectancy in Tennessee. 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."
