🇦🇸American Samoa mortality (2024)

American Samoa's life expectancy is 73.0 as of 2024 — the number of years a newborn would live if current mortality patterns stayed constant. That places American Samoa 126 of 217 countries with recent data. The world figure for the same period is 73.5. In 1960 the figure was 65.1 — up 12% since then. Period life expectancy rises when deaths fall at any age; a pandemic year can pull it down without rewriting long-run health. Infant and under-five mortality are the clearer development signals in high-mortality settings. Sex splits show gap patterns that a single national figure hides.
