Trend2 Rising ![]() Stable ![]() Falling ![]() Rate Comparison Above ![]() Similar ![]() Below ![]() 1 Priority indices were created by ordering from rates that are rising and above the comparison rate to rates that are falling and below the comparison rate. 2 Recent trend in death rates is usually an Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) based on the APCs calculated by Joinpoint Version 4.8.0.0. Due to data availability issues, the time period and/or calculation method used in the calculation of the trends may differ for selected geographic areas. 3 Rate ratio is the county rate divided by the US rate. Previous versions of this table used one-year rates for states and five-year rates for counties. As of June 2018, only five-year rates are used. Source: Death data provided by the National Vital Statistics System public use data file. Death rates calculated by the National Cancer Institute using SEER*Stat. Death rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85+). The Healthy People 2020 goals are based on rates adjusted using different methods but the differences should be minimal. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI. The US Population Data File is used with mortality data. Note: When the population size for a denominator is small, the rates may be unstable. A rate is unstable when a small change in the numerator (e.g., only one or two additional cases) has a dramatic effect on the calculated rate. Suppression is used to avoid misinterpretation when rates are unstable. State Cancer Registries may provide more current or more local data. Data presented on the State Cancer Profiles Web Site may differ from statistics reported by the State Cancer Registries (for more information). Data for the following has been suppressed to ensure confidentiality and stability of rate and trend estimates: Adams County, Ashland County, Bayfield County, Buffalo County, Burnett County, Calumet County, Clark County, Crawford County, Door County, Douglas County, Florence County, Forest County, Grant County, Green County, Green Lake County, Iowa County, Iron County, Jackson County, Juneau County, Kewaunee County, Lafayette County, Langlade County, Lincoln County, Marquette County, Menominee County, Monroe County, Oneida County, Pepin County, Pierce County, Portage County, Price County, Richland County, Rusk County, Sawyer County, Taylor County, Trempealeau County, Vernon County, Vilas County, Washburn County, Waushara County Trend for the following could not be reliably determined due to small number of deaths per year: Barron County, Chippewa County, Columbia County, Dodge County, Dunn County, Eau Claire County, Marinette County, Oconto County, Outagamie County, Polk County, Sauk County, Shawano County, Sheboygan County, St. Croix County, Washington County, Waupaca County Interpret Rankings provides insight into interpreting cancer statistics. When the population size for a denominator is small, the rates may be unstable. A rate is unstable when a small change in the numerator (e.g., only one or two additional cases) has a dramatic effect on the calculated rate. Data for United States does not include Puerto Rico. |
