Abstract
This study examines how the mortality burden
of the Covid-19 pandemic varied across US
states during the time period April 2020 through
December 2022. The disparities were substantial,
with figures ranging from 318 years of life lost
(YLL) per 10,000 population in New York to 1,285
YLL per 10,000 population in New Mexico. Illinois
experienced a loss of 588 YLL per 10,000, situating
it within the bottom third of states in terms of total
loss of life. Overall, Southern and Western states
exhibited the highest YLL, while Northeastern
states, the upper Midwest, and the Pacific Northwest
exhibited the lowest YLL. States that voted for the
2020 Republican presidential candidate experienced
greater losses. This loss of life will have multifaceted
implications for public finances.
