Counties with the highest non-Hodgkin lymphoma incidence rates in Texas
Among 141 Texas counties with published values, the counties with the highest non-Hodgkin lymphoma incidence rates are Polk County, TX (28.7, 1.55 times the U.S. rate of 18.5), Hutchinson County, TX (25.3, 1.37 times the U.S. rate of 18.5) and McCulloch County, TX (24.6, 1.33 times the U.S. rate of 18.5). Values are per 100,000, age-adjusted. 3 of the 141 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.
