Infant mortality Distance to a four-year college Incarceration, Black children from low-income families Mortgage denial rate Current smoking Residents per primary care physician Homicide death rate, tracts Life expectancy at birth United States 0.25× 0.5× 1× 2× 4× End of the ranking divided by the national value (log scale)
Step 1 of 3 · Where the deprived end departs
Each row divides the mean at each end of a ranking by the national value, on a log scale. For infant mortality, the distance to a college, mortgage denials, the supply of doctors and life expectancy, the most deprived end, the filled dot, lies farther from the national line.

The most deprived places usually stand farther from the national value than the least deprived Scene 14 of 19, step 1 of 3: Where the deprived end departs. Outcomes from the chapters, each on the ranking its chapter uses.
What to say The national value is each chapter’s own estimate over all the places it ranks, with the same weights as its bins, so it sits nearer the places that hold more population, births or households. The ratios have no intervals. Rows without a natural zero, the score gaps, the pollution percentiles and the ladder, are left out. Whether higher is worse depends on the row. The chapter is a draft; its table is in the report.
About the chart The most deprived places usually stand farther from the national value than the least deprived places do
Read each row from the national line outward: the open dot is the least deprived end and the filled dot the most deprived end, to the right where the outcome is higher than the national value and to the left where it is lower. Eight of the outcomes in the chapter How far one ranking goes, from birth to life expectancy, each on the ranking its own chapter uses.
Eight of the rows of the chapter How far one ranking goes, chosen to cover the stages of life: five where the most deprived end lies farther from the national value and three where the least deprived end does, about the share in the full set. The chapter shows all of them and counts which end lies farther. The national value pools all the places of each comparison into one bin, with the estimator and weights of its chapter, and is published there. It covers the places that the chapter ranks, so places without a rank or an estimate are left out. Source Figures of the chapters named in each row, data years 1978 to 2024 as each chapter states; estimates as published there: full counts, crude rates, population-weighted means, unweighted survey means or modeled estimates.
