Cancer counts and populations by site, stage, sex, poverty, race, and age

This is a file containing cancer counts and populations stratified by site (21 most common stageable sites plus tobacco-related, HPV-related, and all stageable sites combined), stage (local, regional, distant, unknown), sex, census tract poverty category (<5%, 5-9.9%, 10-19.9% and 20+% of households in the census tract of residence at diagnosis below poverty level as measured by the 2005-2009 American Community Survey), race (white, black, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, Hispanic), and age (0, 1-4, 5-9, then 5 year groups through 80-84, 85+) for 16 US states plus Los Angelese. These data are being used in the manuscript in preparation, "The relationship between cancer incidence, stage, and poverty in the United States". The populations were customized for this project, but are consistent with the populations published here: http://seer.cancer.gov/popdata/
