Census-based and personally reported income measures as long-term risk-adjusted mortality predictors. The approximate quartiles of personally reported family income were as follows. Lowest quartile: 0–$14 999 (26% of participants); second quartile: $15 000–$17 999 (17% of participants); third quartile $18 000–$22 499 (23% of participants); and fourth quartile: $22 500 or higher (34% of participants). Quartile cut points for tract-based household income were $17 241, $21 196, and $25 887; each quartile contained 25% of participants.
