I think John is correct. SEER does not derive their data from county 

estimates, but obtain it from thorough reviews of cancer pathology 

labs and other sources. However, the data is of high quality and can 

provide good data for ecologic studies.  I was reading the Smith, 

Field and Lynch report on Dr. Cohen's data and when they used the 

SEER data from Iowa, Cohen's inverse association disappeared.  It 

looks like Lynch is the head of the Iowa SEER Program.
