#' Mapping original FIPS codes to temporally stable FIPS codes from IHME

#' Counties change over time, which can make comparing across two different
#' time periods difficult. Researchers often use temporally-stable FIPS
#' designations to simplify comparing counties across long time periods. This
#' dataframe comes from the appendix of Dwyer-Lindgren L, et al. US
#' County-Level Trends in Mortality Rates for Major Causes of Death, 1980-2014.
