Supplementary notes

Age-adjusted rates per 100,000 U.S. standard population. Since death rates are affected by the population composition of a given area, age-adjusted death rates should be used for comparisons between areas because they control for differences in population composition. Underlying cause of death is malignant neoplasms (ICD-10 codes: C00-C97).
