Counties with the highest leukemia incidence rates in Ohio
Among 85 Ohio counties with published values, the counties with the highest leukemia incidence rates are Gallia County, OH (25, 1.72 times the U.S. rate of 14.5), Monroe County, OH (23.5, 1.62 times the U.S. rate of 14.5) and Defiance County, OH (20.9, 1.44 times the U.S. rate of 14.5).

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.
