The City in Every State with the Shortest Life Expectancy

Published: April 22, 2024 by Angie Menjivar

Mortality is a concept all living beings must grapple with. It’s elusive, though. During times of good health and vitality, it’s easy to forget that you’re stepping closer to your demise with every passing second. But the reality of it hits you at some point, whether death touches a loved one or you experience the fragility of your own body. Even a seasonal flu can humble you. A good scare puts you on the right track to better your eating and exercise habits. Although there is very little you can control in the world, the good news is that you have agency when it comes to your health.

Knowing your family history helps you understand what diseases you may be more susceptible to. Armed with helpful information, you can alter your lifestyle choices to more closely align with the type of life you want to enjoy. No one is promised old age, but if you’re one of the lucky ones, you can relish your senior years instead of suffering through them. There’s no denying genetics are strong, but lifestyle habits are powerful enough to keep you from falling victim to some of the more severe and incapacitating conditions that plague humans in the modern world.

The formula for good health is rather simple. Eat well, exercise, stay hydrated, and sleep well. You’d think with such a simple formula, we’d all have it figured out. But temptations, vices, and stressors cause deviation. Good health and bad health require commitment — but only one of these commitments is fruitful. No matter your age, you can implement changes to extend your life expectancy. This is especially important if you reside in one of the cities listed below with the shortest life expectancy. Lifestyle changes for better health are challenging at first. But you can follow through and completely alter the course of your life.

To determine the cities in every state with the shortest life expectancy, 24/7 Tempo reviewed data on life expectancy in U.S. metropolitan areas from County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. Additional data on smoking rate, physical inactivity, and insufficient sleep also came from the 2023 CHR. (Also See The 50 US Cities With the Worst Life Expectancy)

Louisville is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the 28th most populous city in the United States. It is the states only designated first-class city. Louisville is the historical seat and, since 2003, the nominal seat of Jefferson County. Lousville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark and is named after King Louis XVI of France, making Louisville one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachian Mountains. Sited beside the Falls of the Ohio, the only major obstruction to river traffic between the upper Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico, the settlement first grew as a portage site. It was the founding city of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which grew into a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) system across 13 states. Today the city is known as the home of the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Fried Chicken, the University of Louisville and its Louisville Cardinals athletic teams, Louisville Slugger baseball bats, and three of Kentuckys six Fortune 500 companies.
