As of 2023, female life expectancy at age 65 in the US stood at 19.8 years. Projections for 2024 through 2027 suggest stability at this figure, with a slight increase to 19.9 in 2028, marking a minimal year-on-year growth of 0.5% in the final year. Over the next five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) implies a very modest rise. This suggests a plateau trend in female longevity post-retirement age.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of healthcare advancements which might improve longevity further.
Socioeconomic factors and health policy changes that could increase or stabilize these figures further.
Increased focus on managing chronic conditions prevalent in aging populations that may influence life expectancy rates positively.
