Public Health England's Longer Lives website, which ranks local authorities, shows people in north-west England are at the greatest risk of dying early.
Mr Hunt said the data could be used to tackle smoking, drinking and obesity.
Labour called for a "One Nation approach" to end health inequalities.
The league table uses a colour system to rate areas tackling premature deaths from red for the worst to green for the best, comparing the number of people under the age of 75 who died over a two-year period.
A statement from the Department of Health said the data would "provide local areas with information to help them understand their own position" and target specific health challenges.
In April, councils became responsible for encouraging people to stop smoking, eat better, drink less alcohol and face up to other public health problems.
Preventable
Around 153,000 people die prematurely each year in England, with three quarters of those deaths down to cancer, heart attack or stroke, lung disease and liver disease - according to Public Health England.
Manchester, Blackpool, Liverpool and Salford have the highest rates of early deaths, the figures show.
Socio-economic background plays a large part in life expectancy and is part of the explanation of the regional divide.
The new analysis also allows councils to compare themselves with others with a similar background.
York is classed as a "least deprived" area and appears green at a national level, yet it comes bottom when compared with other "least deprived" districts.
Waltham Forest in London is among the 15 most deprived areas, yet ranks 73rd out of 150 councils.
Of the early deaths, 103,000 are classed as preventable. The hope is that councils can learn from each other to reduce deaths in their area.
Commenting on the data, Public Health England's Prof John Newton said the premature mortality figures had improved, but the UK was still seventh out of 17 European countries for men and 15th for women.
Prof Newton told the BBC there were many factors at play.
"Although our behaviours have an impact, and we all need to take responsibility for our own health, you have to see the social, economic, cultural context and you also have to look at the environment - housing, education, transport - all of those have an effect on our health," he said.
"So it's no one thing in isolation, and that's why so many different organisations have to take note of this data, and think about what they can do."
