Among 57 Mississippi counties with published values, the counties with the highest bladder cancer incidence rates are Tippah County, MS (23.6, 1.26 times the U.S. rate of 18.7), Itawamba County, MS (23.2, 1.24 times the U.S. rate of 18.7) and Lee County, MS (23.2, 1.24 times the U.S. rate of 18.7). Values are per 100,000, age-adjusted. 2 of the 57 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.
