Cancer Mortality in the US from 2005 to 2020 for years data is available. This plot is an improvement on another user’s post.

Edit: based on feedback I created a scale more closely resembling the one from the CDC website here: https://github.com/colebaril/US_Cancer_Rates/blob/main/Rplot01.png?raw=TRUE
This is an improvement on a post by the user u/wildtyping.
I
put all years into one plot and standardized the legend. You can
clearly see that cancer death rates seem to be declining since 2005. I
also used a colour-blind friendly colour palette.The data and script to produce this plot can be found on my GitHub page here: https://github.com/colebaril/US_Cancer_Rates
The data can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/cancer_mortality/cancer.htm
