Investigating trends in life expectancy and lifespan variation can highlight disproportionate mortality burdens among population subgroups. We examined inequalities in life expectancy and lifespan variation by race/ethnicity and by urbanicity in the US from 1990 to 2019. Using vital registration data for 322.0 million people in 3,141 counties from the National Center for Health Statistics, we obtained life expectancy at birth and lifespan variation for 16 race/ethnicity-gender-urbanicity combinations in six 5-year periods (1990–1994 to 2015–2019). Race/ethnicity was categorized as Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White, Black, and Asian/Pacific Islander. Urbanicity was categorized as metropolitan vs nonmetropolitan areas, or in six further detailed categorizations. Life expectancy and lifespan variation (coefficient of variation) were computed using life tables. In 2015–2019, residents in metropolitan areas had higher life expectancies than their nonmetropolitan counterparts (79.6 years compared to 77.0 years). The widest inequality in life expectancy occurred between Asian/Pacific Islander women and Black men, with a 17.7-year gap for residents in metropolitan areas and a 16.9-year gap for residents in nonmetropolitan areas. Nonmetropolitan areas had greater dispersion around average age at death. Black individuals had the highest lifespan variations in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. Until the mid-2010s, life expectancy increased while lifespan variation decreased; however, recent trends show stagnation in life expectancy and increases in lifespan variation. Metropolitan-nonmetropolitan inequalities in both life expectancy and lifespan variation widened over time. Despite previous improvements in longevity, life expectancy is now stagnating while lifespan variation is increasing. Our results highlight that early-life deaths (i.e., young- and middle-age mortality) disproportionately affect Black individuals, who not only live the shortest lifespans but also have the most variability with respect to age at death. We examined trends in life expectancy and relative lifespan variation by race/ethnicity, gender, and urbanicity in the US. We found stagnating life expectancy and increasing lifespan variation over the last decade. There has been a diverging trend of life expectancy between urban and rural areas. Black individuals had a double burden of mortality: shorter and more variable lifespans.
