In comparison, mortality rates are higher in the North and highest in the South region. Interestingly, the data show slightly lower mortality rates for the Badia region. While mortality rates are highest for the lower two quintiles, they are lowest for the middle quintile, and substantively higher for the upper two quintiles. It is worth noting that the lower quintiles are overrepresented in our sample as poorer households tend to have more children than richer households.
