Counties with the highest bladder cancer incidence rates in Virginia
Among 104 Virginia counties with published values, the counties with the highest bladder cancer incidence rates are Bland County, VA (33.4, 1.79 times the U.S. rate of 18.7), New Kent County, VA (30, 1.6 times the U.S. rate of 18.7) and Giles County, VA (27.9, 1.49 times the U.S. rate of 18.7). Values are per 100,000, age-adjusted. 4 of the 104 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.
