Abbreviations: Pre-E, Pre-expansion; Post-E, Post-expansion.
a
Regional and distant stages were combined due to a small number of distant-stage cases in some clusters.
b
Block groups overlapped with the corresponding cluster and contained at least one patient from the cluster.
c
Measured by area deprivation index.
Notes: All space-time clusters were detected in the pre-expansion period. Patients under the Post-E columns were within the geographic boundary of the corresponding pre-expansion cluster.
