Data

We are committed to ensuring that our work and methodology is accessible and replicable by others. All of the code and data required to replicate our results can be downloaded below.

In order to facilitate further research and reporting on health inequality in the United States, we are providing 16 formatted data tables in Excel and Stata formats, along with documentation for each table. These tables contain life expectancy estimates at age 40 by income and sex at various levels of geographic and temporal aggregation. In addition to life expectancy estimates, we provide estimates of trends in life expectancy by geographic area and an extensive set of commuting zone and county-level covariates.

Each of the 16 data tables published below and all of the code we have written is released to the public domain under a CC0 license to permit the widest possible reuse. If you use our code or data, we ask that you cite our 2016 JAMA paper.
