(NEXSTAR) – Benjamin Franklin famously noted, “In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” While everyone eventually faces mortality, the timing can vary significantly, potentially influenced by factors such as one’s location within the United States.

A recent analysis by MoneyGeek examined healthcare across the nation, including the average life expectancy in each state as a key metric.

The findings revealed that, on average, a person residing in the U.S. can expect to live to 76.4 years old, indicating that most Americans tend to pass away in their 70s.

Hawaii tops the list for longevity, with its residents enjoying the longest life spans, averaging 79.9 years.
