  1. CI confidence interval, HCC hepatocellular carcinoma, IQR interquartile range, IRR incidence rate ratio, UV ultraviolet radiation
  2. aIQR corresponds to 32.4 mW/m2
  3. bAdjusted for age at diagnosis, sex, race, year of diagnosis, SEER registry, and the following county-level variables: prevalence of heavy alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity, diabetes; median household income; percentage unemployed; urbanicity; PM2.5
  4. cNon-movers were defined as those who resided in a county where ≥51.9% (20th percentile) of the population stayed in the same home (no migration). Movers resided in a county where <51.9% of the population stayed in the same home
