Racial and ethnic disparities in health are one of the United States' central challenges.

This study imputes missing and suppressed death data in the CDC WONDER database using Bayesian correlated spatial models and provides a comprehensive view on the geographic variation in disparities in life expectancy in the US in 2016.
