Created by statecancerprofiles.cancer.gov on 03/16/2026 9:43 am.

Trend2
     Rising    when 95% confidence interval of average annual percent change is above 0.
     Stable    when 95% confidence interval of average annual percent change includes 0.
     Falling    when 95% confidence interval of average annual percent change is below 0.
Rate Comparison
     Above    when 95% confident the rate is above and Rate Ratio3 > 1.10
     Similar    when unable to conclude above or below with confidence.
     Below    when 95% confident the rate is below and Rate Ratio3 < 0.90

* Data has been suppressed to ensure confidentiality and stability of rate and trend estimates.
** Data are too sparse to provide stable estimates of annual rates needed to calculate trend.
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. 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 (20 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85-89, 90+). The Healthy People 2030 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:
Allen County, Anderson County, Atchison County, Barber County, Chase County, Chautauqua County, Cheyenne County, Clark County, Clay County, Cloud County, Coffey County, Comanche County, Decatur County, Doniphan County, Edwards County, Elk County, Ellsworth County, Gove County, Graham County, Grant County, Gray County, Greeley County, Greenwood County, Hamilton County, Harper County, Haskell County, Hodgeman County, Jackson County, Jewell County, Kearny County, Kiowa County, Lane County, Lincoln County, Linn County, Logan County, Meade County, Mitchell County, Morris County, Morton County, Ness County, Norton County, Osborne County, Ottawa County, Pawnee County, Phillips County, Pottawatomie County, Pratt County, Rawlins County, Republic County, Rice County, Rooks County, Rush County, Russell County, Scott County, Sheridan County, Sherman County, Smith County, Stafford County, Stanton County, Stevens County, Thomas County, Trego County, Wabaunsee County, Wallace County, Washington County, Wichita County, Wilson County, Woodson County

Trend for the following could not be reliably determined due to small number of deaths per year:
Bourbon County, Harvey County, Kingman County, Marshall 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 do not include Puerto Rico.
