| Age | Rates usually increase steadily with age. Most cases are adults in mid-life or older. |
| Gender | Males have a higher incidence than females for most cancer types. |
| Race & SES* |
Rates are higher for African Americans than for Caucasians and other ethnic groups. Rates are generally higher among lower income groups. |
| Occupation | Risk for cancer is greater with some kinds of workplace exposure, such as chemicals, asbestos, and radiation. |
| Diet | Diets that are low in fresh fruits and vegetables have been associated with increased incidence of several cancers. |
| Other | Tobacco use is the single most important risk factor for cancer incidence and mortality. |

The incidence rates for all cancers combined is similar for males and females in Idaho until around age 60-64 when rates for males rise drastically. Highest rates for both sexes are observed in age groups after age 70, peaking at age group 75-80. The mean age-adjusted incidence rate among health districts is not significantly different from the state's age-adjusted incidence rate.
