Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1. US Life Expectancy
Source: This figure is based on our calculation of county-level life expectancy. As we describe in the online Appendix Section A.1, our calculation is based on Arias et al. (2018) and Manson et al. (2020). Note: The figure shows county-level life expectancy at birth in the United States.
Figure 2
Figure 2. European Life Expectancy
Source: This figure is based on our calculation of NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 level life expectancy. Our calculations are based on data from a variety of sources, described in online Appendix Section A.2. Note: The figure shows life expectancy at birth in Europe. Gray borders delineate NUTS 3 regions. Life expectancy is shown at the NUTS 3 level whenever available and at the NUTS 2 level otherwise. Online Appendix Figures A.1 and A.2 show separate maps for the NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 samples, respectively.
