Note: Panel A of Table 1 compares descriptive statistics using information of the MDAC and the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS). Individuals that were born or reside outside of the 50 states and D.C. have been excluded from both datasets. Information for the MDAC has been constructed from tables disclosed by the Census with release authorizations: CBDRB-FY19–304 and CBDRB-FY20–092. Given the Census disclosure rules, the MDAC statistics are subject to rounding error. The column of deaths in NVSS correspond to all the deaths registered in the period July 2008 – December 2015. All the deaths that occurred in the first half of 2008 are dropped to account for the fact that the ACS 2008 data was collected in a rolling basis between January and December of 2008. The estimates of population at risk by state, age group, and gender in the NVSS data were generated from the IPUMS version of the 2008 ACS. Panel B of Table 1 further disaggregates mortality rates by migration status at the time of the 2008 ACS interview in the MDAC, depending on whether the individual was surveyed in the same state as their state of birth.
