Among 95 Tennessee counties with published values, the counties with the lowest life expectancy are Cocke County, TN (68, against the U.S. county median of 75.3), Campbell County, TN (68.6, against the U.S. county median of 75.3) and Meigs County, TN (69.1, against the U.S. county median of 75.3).

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.
