Cervical Cancer: Compare by StateRelated Information: Compare by Race and Ethnicity In the following maps, states in the U.S. are divided into groups based on the rates at which women developed or died from cervical cancer in 2004, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Incidence Rates by StateIncidence refers to the number of women who get a disease each year. In the United States, the number of women who get cervical cancer varies from state to state. The map below shows the incidence of cervical cancer by state in 2004. Cervical Cancer The states with cervical cancer incidence rates in the first interval (4.9 to 7.0 per 100,000) include Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. The states with incidence rates in the second interval (7.1 to 9.0 per 100,000) include Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The states with incidence rates in the third interval (9.1 to 11.1 per 100,000) include Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Texas, West Virginia, and Wyoming. The incidence rate for District of Columbia is in the fourth interval (11.2 to 13.2 per 100,000). Maryland did not meet United States Cancer Statistics: 2004 Incidence and Mortality publication criteria. *Rates are per 100,000 and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population. Mortality Rates by StateMortality refers to the number of women who die from a disease each year. In the United States, the number of women who die from cervical cancer varies from state to state. The following map shows the cervical cancer mortality rates by state in 2004. Cervical Cancer The cervical cancer death rates for Alaska, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, and Wyoming are suppressed since there were fewer than 16 cases reported in 2004. The states with death rates in the first interval (1.5 to 2.1 per 100,000) include Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. The states with death rates in the second interval (2.2 to 2.6 per 100,000) include Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. The states with death rates in the third interval (2.7 to 3.2 per 100,000) include Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, Tennessee, and West Virginia. The states with death in the fourth interval (3.3 to 3.7 per 100,000) include Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas. *Rates are per 100,000 and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population. Rates are suppressed if fewer than 16 cases were reported in a state.
