The Radiology Health Equity Coalition — Cancer Disparity Maps: A new online tool that reveals the overlap between cancer disparities and social determinants of health (SDOH) using advanced heat maps of U.S. counties.

This tool identifies community factors associated with cancer disparities and features interactive maps that visually reveal correlations between cancer metrics and SDOH variables. Developed with guidance from nine experts in cancer prevention, treatment, and health equity, the Cancer Disparity Maps leverages a comprehensive national, multi-level database aggregated by county. It includes data on breast, prostate, and lung cancer screening and prevalence and mortality rates.

Each map overlays one cancer metric – screening, prevalence, or mortality – with a county SDOH variable, stratified by national rank and displayed in a 9-color interactive choropleth heat map. The result is a clear visualization of associations between cancer disparities and community factors like minority population rates, education, poverty, income, unemployment, air quality, environmental burden, air pollution, and social vulnerability.

With 140 maps available, the Cancer Disparity Maps is a powerful tool for understanding and addressing cancer disparities across different communities.
