What this means

Female life expectancy at birth in Birmingham was 82.5 years using provisional 2025 death rates. This describes how long a newborn would live if those age-specific rates continued, not a prediction for an individual child.

95% confidence interval: 82.2–82.9 years.

Fingertips comparison with England: Worse. 2025 uses provisional data.

Caveats

  • 2025 figure uses provisional deaths and population — expect small revisions.
  • Life expectancy is not healthy life expectancy: years lived in poor health are included.
  • Higher means longer average lives.

Missing or suppressed values are never shown as zero — every card above passed validation with a real numeric value.
