Counties with the highest cancer incidence rates in South Dakota

Among 66 South Dakota counties with published values, the counties with the highest cancer incidence rates are Dewey County, SD (713.7, 1.57 times the U.S. rate of 453.4), Haakon County, SD (659, 1.45 times the U.S. rate of 453.4) and Jerauld County, SD (612.4, 1.35 times the U.S. rate of 453.4). Values are per 100,000, age-adjusted. 13 of the 66 are significantly above the U.S. rate.

Source: NCI and CDC State Cancer Profiles, both sexes, all ages. These are county-level figures, age-adjusted as published by the source, compared with the U.S. rate. A high rate does not prove an environmental cause: age, smoking, income, access to care, screening and chance all move county rates, and small counties swing widely. Significant means the lower bound of the county’s 95 percent confidence interval is above the U.S. rate.
