Hazard ratios for rural vs. urban residents. The figure shows average hazard-ratios, with 95% confidence intervals, for the hazards of rural vs. urban residents with respect to overall survival. We show results for both IPTW weighted and unweighted models. For the IPTW weighted models, rural residence had a significant effect on overall survival for colon cancer, lung cancer, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Rural residency was associated with increased hazards in colon cancer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but decreased hazards in lung cancer
