Notice about Demographic maps
Esri offers a comprehensive set of ready-to-use demographic maps for over 170 countries and regions. Data categories include population, income, age, education, and consumer spending for a variety of products and services. You can quickly access these maps through the Demographics and Lifestyle group in ArcGIS Online.
As of November 27, 2023, these demographic maps will no longer be discoverable through ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. See the Introducing the Demographics and Lifestyle group for accessing demographic maps blog post for more information.
