List of Mexican states by life expectancy

The following is the list of the States of Mexico by life expectancy. The country is administratively divided into 32 federative entities (): 31 states and Mexico City. Mexico has seen declines in some states due to increasing crime in many Mexican cities, especially Ciudad Juarez.

The Data in the 2017 and 2010 columns come from the IHME GBD Results tool. Life Expectancy In Mexico saw large increases before 1990 but recent events involving increased drug activity and increased crime within the cities of Mexico. For example, Campeche had a Life Expectancy in 2010 of 76.30 years and it has declined to 75.07 years. This was primarily due to increased cartel activity within the state.
