Population Characteristics When developing a cancer plan, it is important to consider main characteristics of the region’s resident population. Population characteristics are not just background data—they are core inputs for cancer plan development. They enable planners to map the cancer landscape, allocate resources effectively, tailor interventions, monitor progress, and ensure that cancer control strategies are both effective and equitable. DEMOGRAPHICS Within BBAHC’s service region, about one-third of the population resides in Dillingham. Two-thirds are Alaska Native or American Indian; just over half are males. Adults comprise almost two-thirds of the population.
