Key:
Overall standard deviation:
calculated across all groups and time periods.
Across-counties standard deviation: obtained by first calculating the 18-year average for each county and then calculating the standard deviation across counties.
Across-years standard deviation: obtained by first calculating, for each year, the average over all counties and then calculating the standard deviation for the 18-year period.
