Specify data being presented: what part of the pop-up window is a rate?? Change pop-ups for clarifcation.

1) After selecting a county, the pop-up window pulls up too much information, and is generally confusing. What is the difference between the Value and the Age-Adj Count? Which number represents the rate? As I look through, it seems that the Value reflects the true rate, so it may be as easy as getting rid of the Age-adj Count label... Example below.

2) We do not need to include the FIPS number anywhere; this can be removed from the pop-up.

After selecting a county, the pop-up window pulls up too much information, and is generally confusing.

What do you suggest? I can remove the County: label and just make the county name a bolded heading above everything else. I could change Value: to be the name of the measure, but that repeats text that is already in the legend, and it can get lengthy, e.g. Leukemia, Cancer Incidence:. And then what about the age adjusted? I guess just duplicate that label, remove the parens for the first value and leave them for the second?

So it would look like this maybe?

Gunnison County

Leukemia, Cancer Incidence: 109.5 Leukemia, Cancer Incidence (age-adj per 100k): 17

I will remove FIPS for the county. For tracts, it looks like we have the census tract number, which is shorter and easier to Google, so I'll display that instead.

I do like your example where we don't have a county label, so let's move forward with that! The number currently being presented with the "Value" label is the CORRECT number we want to display. So something like this...

Gunnison County Incidence (Age-adj per 100k): 109.5

That's all we need to include. The 17 value you have is a count (how many new cases of cancer) vs. the 109.5 is age-adjusted (taking into account the population of that county over a period of time). We only need to include the age-adjusted rate and can get rid of the count altogether. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks!

Summary from meeting on tooltip for cancer stats for counties:

Chaffee County
Rate: 382.4
Avg. Annual Count: 121

For tracts, display "Census Tract ".

For the value field, stats that aren't cancer-related, remain "Value".

Map scale should use incidence rate ("value" internally).
