The rows for counties that must be published in every year leave out the most counties among the mortality sources, the County Health Rankings and panel rows leave out fewer, and the two birth products leave out most counties but a smaller share of residents.",
  "caption": "In each row the share of residents is smaller than the share of counties, because the counties left out are small. The first four rows are WONDER mortality, for a county-year in 2023 and for a county that must be published in every year from 2018 to 2023. The next five pool several years in County Health Rankings, and the next two use CDC's modeled panel. The last two rows follow a different rule, a population threshold for naming a county, at {fact:nat_thr} residents in natality and {fact:lbd_thr} in linked birth and infant death.",
