Rates are per 1,000,000 children. Rates for 0-14 and 0-19 year age intervals are age-adjusted within these intervals to the 2000 US standard population, with 95% confidence intervals.
Incidence data provisional, November 2015. Rates based on fewer than 4 cases per year are unstable and should be used with caution.
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas, Burkitt, and miscellaneous lymphomas are grouped together under II(b,c,d).

Rates are per 1,000,000 children. Rates for 0-14 and 0-19 year age intervals are age-adjusted within these intervals to the 2000 US standard population, with 95% confidence intervals.
Incidence data provisional, November 2015. Rates based on fewer than 4 cases per year are unstable and should be used with caution.
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas, Burkitt, and miscellaneous lymphomas are grouped together under II(b,c,d).

Rates are per 1,000,000 children, age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population, with 95% confidence intervals.
Incidence data provisional, November 2015. Rates based on fewer than 4 cases per year are unstable and should be used with caution.
NYC neighborhoods were defined in terms of Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs). PUMAs approximate NYC Community Districts (CDs).
