How long we live in Oldham.

Oldham local authority · 5 cards

How long people live in Oldham — and how many of those years are healthy.

Plain-English context

Life expectancy is an area snapshot: how long a newborn would live if today's death rates continued. It is not a prediction for any one person. In Oldham, men live to about 78 and women to about 82; 2025 figures use provisional deaths data. Healthy life expectancy counts only years in self-reported good health — about 56 for men and 57 for women. Do not mix the two measures up. The separate all-cause mortality card reports a directly age-standardised annual rate for 2023–25; it is not the input used to calculate these life expectancy estimates.
