Data not available for this combination of geography, cancer site, age, and race/ethnicity.
Φ Rural–urban county classifications are based on the 2023 USDA Rural–Urban Continuum Codes (except for Connecticut Counties which use 2013 codes). State-level cancer rates for rural areas are calculated using cancer cases registered exclusively in rural counties, while state-level cancer rates for urban areas are calculated using cases registered exclusively in urban counties.
Puerto Rico is treated as urban because over 90% of the population lives in urban areas.
