Incidence rates for many cancer sites are strongly correlated with area measures of socioeconomic conditions such as poverty rate. Analyzing such measures at the county scale produces misleading results by masking enormous within-county variations. The census tract is a more suitable scale for assessing the relationship between cancer and socioeconomics. The North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) developed a census tract-level poverty indicator variable which was included as an optional item in its 2010 Call for Data. This variable does not allow the identification of individual census tracts as long as the county of diagnosis is not known. It is expected that this data item will be made available to researchers in future releases of the CINA Deluxe file.
