Why can I view maps for some indicators and not all indicators?
The dashboard contains maps for HCI-maintained indicators that show how your community is doing in comparison to other communities (green-yellow-red divided gauge), as shown below:
Maps are available for standard geographies (county, zip code and census tract). Some indicators may not have maps because:
- The indicator data is locally-maintained. To identify who maintains the indicator, view the “Maintained By” field on the indicator detail page.
- The indicator data is compared to a mean or median value; the gauge does not have distinct divisions, as shown below:
- The indicator shows data for a non-standard geography. Custom geographies, such as special regions, service areas or subsets of zip codes, are not mapped.
Why are some values for counties and/or zip codes not available?
Certain values may not be available for a variety of reasons:
- HCI only provides the values for counties, zip codes and census tracts where data is available on your site.
- When there are only a small number of data values for a zip code or county (e.g., 10 deaths due to heart disease), data values are often not shown due to confidentiality and stability concerns. You will not see this data mapped or on your dashboard.
- Zip codes change more often than indicator data is collected and reported. If the zip code at the time of data collection no longer exists, the data will not be mapped.
Why can’t I see zip code level data for all indicators?Data collection at the zip code level is a resource intensive process; therefore, many data sources do not collect and report data at this level.I have suggestions for future improvements. Where can I send them?Please submit suggestions through the Send Feedback link.

What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to cancer. |
| Why this is important: Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) defines cancer as a term used to describe diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. There are over 100 different types of cancer. According to the NCI, lung, colon and rectal, breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancer lead to the greatest number of annual deaths. The Healthy People 2020 target is to reduce the overall cancer death rate to 160.6 deaths per 100,000 population. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 58 California counties. |
