FDep99: First component of a PCA on the commune scale of the variables: median income; % blue-collar workers; % high school graduates; and unemployment rate

% Total: percentage of the total mortality

SMR: standardized mortality ratio for the period 1997–2001.

SMRQ5/SMRQ1: ratio of the SMR of communes whose FDep99 index is higher than the fourth quintile and SMR of the communes whose FDep99 index is lower than the first quintile
