Cancer Incidence in Cleveland County: Comparing Rates with Similar Land Use Counties

This research investigates the cancer incidence in Cleveland County compared to similar land use counties in other states. The study analyzes development density, cluster patterns, and data analysis to determine if there is a correlation between cancer rates and development intensity. Results show little correlation between cancer and development, suggesting a need for a better process to reach conclusive outcomes.

  1. Cancer occurrence in Cleveland County compared to counties of similar land use. Cancer County Comparisons

  2. Does the cancer incidence rate in Cleveland County compare to those counties in other states that have similar land use characteristics? Research Question

  3. Similar development density Cluster patterns Methods

  4. Cleveland County • Development is only 15% total land use • Cancer Incidence 494.3

  5. Cancer Incidences 469.6 Development 9% Cancer Incidences 497.9 Development 8% Comparable Counties

  6. Little to no correlation between cancer and development Relatively similar levels of cancer incidences Interesting overall relationship between high density and low density Data Analysis

  7. Not the most effective process Small study size Flaws

  8. A better process must be used to reach objective Eliminate the intensity of development and focus on the type of development Conclusion

  9. Questions
