Longevity Visualizer
The Social Security Administration's Office of the Chief Actuary (OCACT) produces cohort life tables that project the fraction of the population born in a given calendar year that will remain alive at each annual age in the future as well as the probability of death. Using OCACT's cohort life tables, we have created the Longevity Visualizer (LV), an interactive data-visualization tool.
