What this means
Male healthy life expectancy at birth in County Durham was 55.9 years in 2022–24. This uses the period’s mortality rates and self-reported good health, not a prediction for an individual. Do not subtract it from the single-year 2025 life expectancy figure.
95% confidence interval: 52.8–59.0 years.
Fingertips comparison: Worse England. This counts only years in good health.

Caveats
- ‘Good health’ is self-reported in a survey — it reflects how people feel, not a medical test.
- Wide interval (52.8–59): small survey samples make this wobblier than life expectancy.
- Higher means more years in good health. Not interchangeable with life expectancy.
