Counties with the highest pancreas cancer death rates in New Jersey

Among 21 New Jersey counties with published values, the counties with the highest pancreas cancer death rates are Salem County, NJ (15, 1.33 times the U.S. rate of 11.3), Cumberland County, NJ (14.6, 1.29 times the U.S. rate of 11.3) and Sussex County, NJ (13.5, 1.19 times the U.S. rate of 11.3). Values are per 100,000, age-adjusted. 2 of the 21 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.
