Fig. 4 Rural–urban rate ratios for age-adjusted mortality by race and ethnicity and U.S. Census region of residence, 1999–2016. Ratios were calculated by dividing the rural rate by the urban rate and multiplying by 100. The red dashed lines represent the point of similar mortality rates. Deviations from these line are illustrative of the direction and magnitude of the rural–urban differences. Direction: Above represents a rural mortality penalty, and vice versa. Magnitude: Values farther away indicate a larger difference.

This map shows differences in absolute upward mobility across CZs measured as the mean income rank at age 30 for children born in the early 1980s (1980–1982) to parents at the 25th percentile of the national income distribution and cotton output in 1860. Each dot corresponds to approximately 5,000 (400-pound) bales of ginned cotton produced and the underlying mobility data is divided into ventiles, with darker shades corresponding to higher rates of upward mobility. Data on cotton production is drawn from the 1860 Census of Agriculture obtained through IPUMS NHGIS (Manson et al. 2017)
