Association of life expectancy at birth with socioeconomic status, as proxied by educational attainment, in six large Latin American cities, adjusted for the proportion of subcity unit that is built-up, by sex
Datapoint size is proportional to subcity unit population. Lines are linear regressions of life expectancy on education attainment, weighted by population and adjusted by proprotion of subcity unit that is built-up. The variables represented in the x axis and y axis are residuals of a regression, at the city level, of educational attainment (x axis) or life expectancy (y axis) on the proportion of the subcity unit that is built-up.
