The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) regularly calculates the life expectancy for Australians. Nationwide, women are expected to live to 84.3, while the life expectancy for men is 80.1 — the first time the male figure has crossed 80. (That’s been the case for women since 1990.) Here are the figures for 2013:

State Life expectancy — males Life expectancy — females Deaths, 2013
New South Wales 80.0 84.3 50396
Victoria 80.7 84.7 35916
Queensland 79.6 84.1 27901
South Australia 80.0 84.3 12804
Western Australia 80.3 84.8 13414
Tasmania 78.8 82.6 4444
Northern Territory 74.9 79.2 1097
Australian Capital Territory 85.1 85.0 1700
Australia 80.1 84.3 147678

The lesson here? Live longer by moving to Canberra.
