N2  - In this paper, I examine differentials in under-five mortality for the state of São Paulo, Brazil, between urban and rural areas and by location within urban areas over a 21-year period between 1970 and 1991.  I also investigate economic inequalities in under-five mortality for urban areas.  During the period 1970-1991, much of the infant and child mortality transition unfolded in São Paulo.  I investigate whether these improvements in mortality were accompanied by narrowing differentials by place of residence and declining economic inequalities in mortality.  I draw on microdata from Brazilian censuses conducted in 1970, 1980, and 1991.
