Introduction to Esri Demographics

Esri Demographics consist of a comprehensive set of demographic map layers, web maps, and services for over 170 countries and regions. The data categories available span demographic and socioeconomic information for these regions, such as population, income, households, housing, health, education, jobs, and consumer spending for a variety of products and services.

Esri Demographics include the following:

  • Esri standard demographics—Baseline demographics sourced from data provided by Michael Bauer Research GmbH that provide consistent data attributes and methodology. Because many data variables are similar across these regions, users can compare global markets and communities.
  • Esri advanced demographics—For a limited number of countries, Esri also creates advanced demographic datasets sourced from data supplied by reliable data sources, such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Advanced demographics datasets often contain more data variables and finer levels of geography than those available through standard demographics. Advanced demographics can be used to perform more detailed analyses of an area of interest.
Tip:

Visit the Demographics and Lifestyle group on ArcGIS Online to access global demographic web maps and services.

Visualize demographic data variables

The data browser is an interface to help you visualize and explore the data categories and analysis variables available in a country or region's standard and advanced demographics. See Explore data variables to learn more about this visualization tool.

Regional data

The following regional data topics contain alphabetical tables that link to the countries in that region and the available data categories for each country.

Each country or region topic contains information about the most recent data updates, vintages, use cases, and methodology—when available. Data attributes are typically found in the linked data source topics.

See the ArcGIS Data vintages topic for a comprehensive list of the data sources and vintages for each country by region.
