Esri provides a standard demographics dataset for Montserrat sourced from data supplied by Michael Bauer Research GmbH. Visit Where to find Esri Location Data to learn more about using standard demographics.

Release date

This dataset was updated in October 2023; the vintage is 2022.

Settlement points

Esri's Montserratian settlement points use the OpenStreetMap (OSM) Building Footprints. Esri is a supporter of the OSM project, www.openstreetmap.org. The buildings were constrained to include only residential housing units. The buildings were verified and improved upon using the latest Esri imagery and HERE [Esri StreetMap Premium Layers (LandArea, BuiltUpArea)]. When necessary, household values were distributed evenly onto multi-unit residential buildings using a top-down approach with the Michael Bauer Research household values from the lowest level geographies.

Standard demographics use cases

The Esri standard demographics dataset for Montserrat is updated with Michael Bauer Research GmbH data updates to this region, approximately every two years. See the Related links section below for a complete list of variables, release notes, and a sample report.

Example use cases that may help you understand Montserratian standard demographics include the following:

Total Population

Total Population

What is measured: The total number of individuals living in a specific area.

How you use it: Population counts are often used by local and national governments for policy planning, resource allocation, and to make informed decisions based on the needs of different population groups within a country or region. You can use this data to explore the allocation of public services, economic development, political representation, social research, and resources available for disaster preparedness.

Population Density

Population Density

What is measured: The number of people per unit of area (sq. mile or sq. kilometer).

How you use it: Population Density is typically used for national and local projects such as infrastructure design, urban planning to allocate and distribute public services, and to assess the environmental impact of human activity based on where people are concentrated.

Population per Mill

Population per Mill

What is measured: The number of individuals in a region per thousand.

How you use it: Population per Mill is used to understand the comparative distribution of population around a country or region based on a per-thousand ratio. This data is used to support market trend analysis, infrastructure planning, and regional and national policy development. Population distribution is often used in health care to track disease prevalence or vaccination rates.

Male/Female Population Totals

Male/Female Population Totals

What is measured: The total number of males and females in a region's population.

How you use it: Male and Female Population counts provide insight into gender balance, which is used for informed decision-making in areas like education, workforce planning, health care, and skills training. This data is also used to help interpret complex results, such as health-care outcomes, crime statistics, targeted marketing campaigns, and housing shortages.
