Atlas of Cancer Mortality in the United States, 1950-1994
In each color map and legend, five shades of red (deciles at the median and above) and five shades of blue (deciles below the median) are used, with the intensity of color reflecting the ranked distance from the median. Gray is used for areas with sparse data.
In the grayscale maps, dark represents high rates and light represents low rates. A "sand" pattern is used for areas with sparse data.
