Sample includes employees at Alcoa for whom administrative and claims data were available in 2004. Movers are those whose early life and work life states-of-residence differed. Analyses were carried out on the 70% test subset of the sample using multivariate linear regression, with robust standard errors clustered by early life state-of-residence. State health risk score was constructed using a 30% training subset of the larger sample using standardized measures of early life state unemployment, median income, percentage with less than a high school education, percent urban, percent white, and Gini coefficient. Health status was calculated from claims data using a third-party algorithm.
