Counties with the highest lung cancer incidence rates in Idaho
Among 38 Idaho counties with published values, the counties with the highest lung cancer incidence rates are Shoshone County, ID (72.9, 1.41 times the U.S. rate of 51.8), Lewis County, ID (72.7, 1.4 times the U.S. rate of 51.8) and Lincoln County, ID (69.2, 1.34 times the U.S. rate of 51.8).

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.
