You could try mapping RATES rather than cases , by zipcode, or tract or
other subcounty geo-unit.

Dear Colleagues,
My name is Tatia Chay and I am an MPH-Epidemiology candidate at the George
Washington University School of Public Health. I am currently working to
map
breast cancer incidence and mortality using GIS for DC and have run into
some
obstacles due to the sensitive nature of certain addresses in the District.
Does anyone have any suggestions for circumventing this issue.
Thank you,
Tatia
