Estimates reflect monitor average treatment effects for fully specified models for the CBSA in A (Model 3) and for the CRZ in B (Model 9). Roads are shown in white. Block groups are shaded by population density in yellow, where gray indicates unavailable data. Mapped in R with the ggplot2 and sf packages30,31.
