For practice-level service areas, we included census tracts, in Virginia, with at least 5 patients. Cold spots are defined as those census tracts in the highest quartiles for poverty, low education, and composite social deprivation. Poverty is measured by the percentage earning less than 200% of the federal poverty level. Low education measured by the percentage without a high school diploma or General Education Development. The Social Deprivation Index is a composite measure of community material and social deprivation and is a score from 0 to 100.
