.@KirkegaardEmil Assuming the drop off for Whites isn't just noise, too White = place no one wants to be (Maine, for instance).

@JayMan471 @KirkegaardEmil not noise. pretty sure the effect is mostly extremely rural backwaters and the like

@JayMan471 @KirkegaardEmil i found the same patterns with age-adjusted mortality and other health outcome measures

@RCAFDM @JayMan471 Indifference of the indicator. :)

@KirkegaardEmil @JayMan471 it'd be interesting to see how much S factor mediates differences in crime rates and the like

@RCAFDM @JayMan471 S factor does not mediate anything. It's a formative construct (my view). http://www.rasch.org/rmt/rmt221d.htm 

@RCAFDM @JayMan471 One can however, residualize e.g. crime for S and see whether races differential predicts the residuals, and they do.
