Among 24 Idaho counties with published values, the counties with the highest kidney cancer incidence rates are Cassia County, ID (26.6, 1.49 times the U.S. rate of 17.9), Elmore County, ID (24.8, 1.39 times the U.S. rate of 17.9) and Gooding County, ID (24.6, 1.37 times the U.S. rate of 17.9). Values are per 100,000, age-adjusted. 2 of the 24 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.
