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:
Benton County, Bledsoe County, Campbell County, Cannon County, Carroll County, Chester County, Claiborne County, Clay County, Cocke County, Coffee County, Crockett County, DeKalb County, Decatur County, Dyer County, Fentress County, Franklin County, Giles County, Grainger County, Grundy County, Hancock County, Hardeman County, Hardin County, Haywood County, Henderson County, Hickman County, Houston County, Humphreys County, Jackson County, Johnson County, Lake County, Lauderdale County, Lawrence County, Lewis County, Macon County, Marion County, Marshall County, McNairy County, Meigs County, Monroe County, Moore County, Morgan County, Obion County, Overton County, Perry County, Pickett County, Polk County, Rhea County, Robertson County, Scott County, Sequatchie County, Smith County, Stewart County, Trousdale County, Unicoi County, Union County, Van Buren County, Warren County, Wayne County, Weakley County, White County

Trend for the following could not be reliably determined due to small number of deaths per year:
Bedford County, Bradley County, Carter County, Cheatham County, Dickson County, Fayette County, Gibson County, Hawkins County, Henry County, Jefferson County, Lincoln County, Madison County, Maury County, Roane County, Tipton 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.
