Teton County reports 94-year life expectancy
Teton County’s life expectancy reached 94 years based on 2022–2024 CDC data, according to the county Health Department. Experts point to active lifestyles, low smoking and obesity rates, and wealth that supports access to health care as possible contributors. The estimate is not a guarantee of individual lifespan, and the county’s small population adds uncertainty.
Recent data from the Teton County Health Department shows the local life expectancy reached 94 years between 2022 and 2024, which experts believe may be the highest in the country. Health officials credit the trend to Jackson residents having low smoking and obesity rates, easy access to outdoor recreation, and the significant wealth required to invest in high-quality healthcare. The figure is more than 15 years higher than the national average, which sat at 77 years in 2024.
