What it goes with

The strongest links that have a page of their own. Unadjusted is the link before adjusting for anything, from −1 (opposite) to +1 (in step). Adjusted compares places with the same population density, income and education levels, so those differences can’t explain the link. This list leaves out the 49 pairs built from the same numbers or the same model as this measure, since they are bound to match.

Population makeup

How this measure varies with the racial and ethnic makeup of counties. Every group is shown, whatever its rank. These are links across counties: they describe places, not people. They say nothing about any person’s risk or behaviour based on their race. Counties with a larger share of one group also differ in much else, such as income, segregation, region and history. The adjusted figure only accounts for density, income and education.

Highest and lowest, per 1,000 residents

Of 3,218 counties reporting it. This is a count, so it is ranked per 1,000 residents, not as published. Ranked by raw totals, it would just list the largest counties in the country. Its link to population is 0.84, so the raw order would match almost every other count here. The published totals are in the table on each place page.
