Introduction to Esri Demographics

Esri Demographics are a comprehensive, nearly global collection of accurate, authoritative data that provides detailed insight into people, their habits, and the places they live and work. The data categories available include demographic and socioeconomic information, 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—A collection of comparable, baseline demographics sourced from data provided by Michael Bauer Research GmbH. Standard demographics include attributes and methodology that are consistent across all regions, making it easier for users to compare global markets and communities.

  • Esri advanced demographics—Esri creates premium datasets for a limited number of countries or regions that are sourced from data supplied by reliable data sources, such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics. These datasets typically contain more data variables and more granular levels of geography than the standard demographics datasets. Advanced demographics are used to perform detailed analyses of an area of interest.

Esri Demographics are available in most ArcGIS products that have data enrichment capability, as well as maps, reports, and tools. See Where to find ArcGIS Data or Custom reports and infographics in this topic.

Tip:

See individual product documentation to learn about the cost or license privileges required to perform data enrichment in a specific product or app.
