Anybody know how many 'hot-spots' like this would be predicted due to clustering at levels predicted by chance?

"The only way to determine whether a cluster is a "real" cluster or just a "chance" cluster is to do a full scale epidemiological study, which is an expensive and time consuming process, and may still give disappointing results." http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/TIB/epidemiolo...
