Hypothetical excess White mortality that would raise White mortality, or lower White life expectancy, to best-ever Black levels. (A) Logged deaths per 100,000 and (B) life expectancy for non-Hispanic Blacks and Whites, 2006 to 2017, representing all years with official US life tables for these populations. The bolded numbers represent the number of excess White deaths in 2020 needed to raise the most recent documented White mortality to the lowest-ever Black mortality, or lower the most recent documented White life expectancy to the highest-ever Black life expectancy, respectively.
