The map shows locations of medical facilities serving patients in Travis County and the density of the 21,923 geocoded patients per square mile at the census tract level. The circle near the center shows the area where levels of colorectal cancer screening are low, relative to patients from areas outside of the identified cluster but also served by the federally qualified health centers system in the county.
