The fastest-filling rows

These first rows fill before anyone can remember them. Nearly everything a person will later call 'who I am' is being laid down here, which is why parents so often say the early weeks went by in a blur. If you are filling this in for a child, the top rows of the calendar are the ones you will be asked about later; a few notes beside them go a long way.

The averages at 1

The Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, the one used in the 2026 Trustees Report, puts average remaining life at exactly 1 at 80.5 years for women and 75.2 years for men. That implies an average age at death of about 81.5 and 76.2 respectively, and a halfway point in remaining life at around age 39.

Of people alive at 1, the same table implies that 65% of women and 51% of men would reach 80, 31% of women and 19% of men would reach 90, and 2.8% of women and 1.0% of men would reach 100. A period table assumes today’s death rates hold for the rest of a life; if health keeps improving, the true figures will be somewhat higher.

Averages describe large groups, not you. Health, habits, income, and family history move individual odds far more than a table can show. For a fuller breakdown by age and sex, with the method explained, see Statistical Life Left.
