UCI is designated as both a Hispanic-Serving Institution and an Asian American Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education. UCI's high proportion of Latino and Asian American undergraduate students reflect the diversity of the catchment area. 30% of residents are foreign-born and 35 different languages are spoken at home.

The Community Outreach & Engagement Office analyzes, identifies and characterizes the Catchment Area and the cancer burden within. CFCCC's priority cancers and risk behaviors are determined based on the data and discussions with community and Center leaders. The top five cancers in our Catchment Area over the past three years are skin (melanoma), prostate, breast, brain and nervous system, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. For women, the highest age-adjusted incidence rates are in breast, lung and bronchus, colon and rectum cancers; the highest mortality rates are in lung and bronchus, breast, colon and rectum cancers. For males, the highest age-adjusted incidence rates are in prostate, lung and bonchus, and colon and rectum cancers, and the highest mortality rates are in lung and bronchus, prostate, colon and rectum cancers.
