In this study, we use the multi-population mortality projection model of type Li & Lee. We focus on the application of mortality projections at the sub-national level in the USA, presenting and discussing the results based on extensive prior work conducted at the country level. To project mortality, we jointly model the national-level trend for the USA and the specific state trends, deviating from this overall trend, for both males and females. The choices made regarding model specification, calibration, and the forecasting process to assess mortality variations and life expectancy forecasts within the country are driven by the robustness of the chosen strategy.
