Notes: Counties considered are all those within 40 miles of a Military Treatment Facility (MTF). Clinic-level MTFs do not accept inpatients. Panel 1 uses 2004 natality birth data from the National Vital Statistics System of the National Center for Health Statistics. Means are weighted by the number of births. Panel 2 uses the 2013 American Community Survey (ACS). County level means use person weights.
