Life expectancy dots sit between the lowest and highest rows by small margins; for upward mobility the published ADI, its raw replica and home value alone have the lowest point estimates.",
  "caption": "The dots for life expectancy bunch together across the composite rankings and family income. For upward mobility the published ADI, its raw replica and home value alone have the lowest point estimates, all below family income alone, and the poverty rate alone is not distinguishable from the published ADI. Each dot is the absolute value of the correlation between a ranking and an outcome across tracts, weighted by tract population, with a 95% interval from a bootstrap over counties; every ranking runs from least to most deprived, so both correlations are negative.",
