Note: Adjusted N = 2897 counties. All unadjusted estimates are significant at p < 0.001. * Non-adherence defined as patients covered with medications <80% of total days. Median Home Value and Household Income measured in thousands of $ (USD). Income Inequality based on the Gini coefficient, which summarizes dispersion of income across entire income distribution, with a range from 0 (perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality).
