Riddle me this, Batman...should I say Villa Hills

[mexitucky]

How is it possible that SIX people on the same street in a subdivision in Villa Hills die of cancer? How has Northern Kentucky's Board of Health done very little at best, nothing at worst, regarding the extremely high number of cancer deaths in all of NKY? This isn't bad luck. This is either, A. Utilities, B. Water/Sewage, or C. Construction Materials. I have no standing in this, so I can't bring much action beyond this post. This is a joke.

What subdivision?

I have no idea, but possibly Radon?

Great question. It isn't being investigated from what I've been told.

We had our house tested for it before we bought it recently and it failed the test. We had a system put in by the previous owners.

Is the NKY cancer rate abnormally high when compared to the State, Region or Nation?

I have no idea, but it's definitely hit a LOT of people I know!

[WhoozYoDaddy]

Me as well, but spread over many states.

NewCath alone has lost way too many mothers and alum from cancer. We can't be an anomaly.

I would want more details before jumping to any conclusions that it might be geographic. While it would appear high, I would also think there are a number of other factors to be considered. No ?

Diet, smoking, family histories, etc...?

The only state that appears to have a higher cancer rate than us is Louisiana (DC does too, just so I include that).
