Counties with the lowest life expectancy in Iowa

Among 99 Iowa counties with published values, the counties with the lowest life expectancy are Wapello County, IA (74.5, against the U.S. county median of 75.3), Webster County, IA (74.5, against the U.S. county median of 75.3) and Ringgold County, IA (74.6, against the U.S. county median of 75.3). Values are years.

Source: County Health Rankings, built from CDC National Vital Statistics System death records. These are county-level figures, compared with the U.S. county median. A high rate does not prove an environmental cause: age, smoking, income, access to care, screening and chance all move county rates, and small counties swing widely.
