In 2020, life expectancy in the United States experienced an unprecedented decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This decline in life expectancy was especially pronounced among racial and ethnic minority populations. We show that although these racial/ethnic disparities have persisted throughout the pandemic, they have narrowed over time and were less pronounced during the Omicron peak in November 2021-February 2022 than during the earlier waves. At the same time, we also demonstrate that excess mortality, which was most pronounced in large metropolitan areas in the early phase of the pandemic, has spread to nonmetropolitan areas and across the country from the Northeast region to the Southern, the Midwest and Western regions of the country.
