October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign aimed at increasing awareness of the disease and supporting those whose lives are affected. This year we’re exploring the spatial variation of the female breast cancer incidence crude rate and the percentage of women in poverty by municipality in Pennsylvania in 2015.

Follow the link below to our interactive map(s) showing the rates in 2015. The multivariate map shows the overlay of both rates where pink indicates a higher breast cancer incidence crude rate, blue indicates a higher poverty rate, and purple indicates that both rates are high. Hover over each municipality for more information and use the “layers” feature to toggle between the multivariate map or single maps.
