Which one of these numbers is higher, kiddo?

Also the world Bank isn't a census organization, they literally list

Census reports and other statistical publications from national statistical offices

As one of their sources. Even with extremely opaque and likely falsified health data NK still can't beat American life expectancy

Even with extremely opaque and likely falsified health data NK still can’t beat American life expectancy
