I think it works like this not including powerful sorcerrors

man normally 60-80 years like us really this includes all man races Redguard, Nord, Imperial, Breton (though due to a more magical nature I'm willing to say bretons can live upto 90-100)

Orisimer or orc they can live a long time but most orcs are warriors so upto 50, however is one came across an orc that retired instead of dying in battle I'm willing to say 150 years.

Dunmer, magical by nature even if they don't practice it so 800-1000 years on average

Bosmer now they are unique due to the feeling the are more Druid by nature, in our times past it was belived the druids lived through the life force nature provided them, they lived of the life of plants and trees hence why many believed them to have a more grassy route, through this belief I would say they could live within 1000-1500 years as sooner or later even their Mer bodies will be taxed on the way they live.

Altmer similiar to Dummer their nature is magical but due to a higher form of breeding they could easily last to 1500 if not 2000 years,

However I get the feeling Mer have the ability to surrender their lives and grow old when they desire to, since we see many aged Altmer and Dunmer but from their stories they couldn't be past more than a few centuries, this is possible that in a world of men they watch as they pass leaving nothing but memories, so they choose to forsake their longevity and liver shorter lives, (Thalmor faction a most likely exception of course)

Kajiit possible the same length as man if not a little shorter however Kajiit form is changed in when they're born due to the moon, that may very well depend on how long they can live depending on what the moons was like when they are born.

Argonian, difficult to say on life with the Argonians, however by basing on physical form and not slaves or warriors, etc. possibly between 60 and 80 years once more same as man though Argonians are reborn again through the hist so life and death doesn't effect them the same way,

Hopefully this should be nearer to the truth than any current details, though I like to assume Bethesda leaves it upto us to decide how long they live,

note I have skipped Dwemer and Snow Elves (Falmer) due to the somplete and utter lack of knowledge their is about them, we can't base life expectancy on Snow Elves due to Galebor due to the fact we have know idea how magical his nature is from his life however he could easily be around 3000 years depending on how long it was from when he was born to when the Snow Elves were slaughtered then later enslaved.
