The distance to a four-year college, residents per primary care physician and county homicide sit far to the right at the most deprived end; chronic conditions and homicide by tract sit far from the line at both ends, farther at the least deprived end; renter burden, the checkup and life expectancy sit close to the national value at both ends.",

The dot farther from the line marks the end that departs more from the country as a whole. Whether higher is worse depends on the outcome, so read the row label with the direction.",
