Counties with the highest leukemia death rates in Louisiana

Among 27 Louisiana counties with published values, the counties with the highest leukemia death rates are Acadia Parish, LA (9.4, 1.65 times the U.S. rate of 5.7), Natchitoches Parish, LA (9.3, 1.63 times the U.S. rate of 5.7) and Iberville Parish, LA (9, 1.58 times the U.S. rate of 5.7). Values are per 100,000, age-adjusted. 2 of the 27 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.
