  		FIGURE 1—— US counties that had high or low age-adjusted mortality rates in at least four of seven 5-year periods.

Note. Rates for Alaska and Hawaii were calculated, but they were not included in these analyses. Counties within 1 SD of the national average for 4 or more periods are shown in white. Counties with "high" mortality (black pattern) had mortality rates more than 1 SD greater than the US mean rate for at least 4 of the 7 (i.e., more than half) time periods. Counties with "low" mortality (black dotted pattern) had mortality rates more than 1 SD less than the US mean rate for at least 4 of the 7 time periods.
