Sorted from largest to smallest at age 50–54 in 2014–2016.

^aMinimum percentage of deaths that would have to be reallocated in an age interval to equalize the spatial distribution of deaths and population.

^bCauses with less than 1000 deaths in each age, sex, and period group are excluded.

^cScreenable cancers include breast, prostrate, colorectal, and cervical cancers.
