Incidence and Mortality Trends for Four Cancers in High- and Low-Income U.S. Counties, 1975-2013

Because income and cancer-incidence trends (particularly for melanoma) may be confounded by race, the data here are for white people only. High-income counties have a median family income of more than $75,000, and low-income counties have a median family income of less than $40,000, according to 2000 US Census data.
