Abstract

This data set contains 1970-1994 cancer mortality information for counties in the United States. Included are death rates, number of deaths, confidence levels, and expected number of deaths for white males and white females for 20 cancers. The data are from a cancer mapping project in the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG).

Purpose

These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.

Supplemental Information

These data come from Devesa, S.S., D.J. Grauman, W.J. Blot, G.A. Pennello, R.N. Hoover, J.F. Fraumeni, Atlas of Cancer Mortality in the United States, 1950-94. National Institutes of Health (NIH) Publication. No (PHS) 99-4564. Bethesda, MD: National Cancer Institute, September 1999.

NCI_UNIT

The name of the reporting unit used by the National Cancer Institute. For most of the data these are counties. Alaska and Hawaii are each single reporting unit. In Montana, New York, and Wisconsin some counties were combined to create the NCI reporting unit. In Virginia independent cities were combined with the surrounding counties to create the NCI reporting unit.

NCI_FIPS

The 5-digit county FIPS code of the reporting unit used by the National Cancer Institute. For most of the data the reporting units are counties. In Montana, New York, and Wisconsin some counties were combined to create the NCI reporting unit. In Virginia independent cities were combined with the surrounding counties to create the NCI reporting unit. Data for Alaska and Hawaii were available at the State level only. Alaska and Hawaii were coded as 02999 and 15999, respectively, and were considered as counties in the maps.

02999: State of Alaska
