A method and system to evaluate clustering in case control data for a plurality of individuals taking into account dynamic location information. A set of space time coordinates for each individual is established. The set of space time coordinates indicate a geographic location of a residence of the individual at a beginning time and an ending time. A case control identifier for each individual is established. For at least one case individual whose case control identifier has the first value, a spatially and temporally local case-control cluster statistic is established as a function of the set of space time coordinates of each individual, the case control identifier, and the neighbor relationship values between the one case individual and the other individuals. Dynamic location information for exposure sources are used to establish a focused case-control cluster statistic as a function of the set of space time coordinates of each exposure source, the space time coordinates of each individual, the case control identifier, and the neighbor relationship values between the case individuals, the other individuals and the exposure sources.
