Figure 3: Estimated age-standardised mortality in 2019 by cause, county, and racial–ethnic group.

Figure 3:

Each circle corresponds to one county, and the size of the circle is proportional to the population of a given racial–ethnic group in that county. The boxes indicate the population-weighted median and interquartile range of the county-level mortality rates—ie, a quarter of the population lives in counties where mortality is lower than the level indicated by the bottom of the box, another quarter of the population lives in counties where mortality is between the level indicated by the bottom of the box and the level indicated by the middle bar, and so on. The diamond indicates the national mortality rate. Estimates have been masked for county and racial–ethnic groups with a mean annual population fewer than 1000 people because model performance declined notably below this threshold.
