Esri Demographics

What's Coming in Esri Demographics (Feb 2023)

By Lucy Guerra

Esri is pleased to announce the details of the Esri Demographics release later this month which includes updates to Standard Demographics and Advanced Demographics.

Standard Demographics

Standard Demographics include a baseline set of demographic and socioeconomic data for over 170 countries and regions, provide a broad picture of topics, and come from a consistent data source and methodology. Many data variables are standardized across these regions, enabling comparison across global markets and communities. Countries and regions are updated on a rolling basis throughout the year.

February updates include:

Europe: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkiye, United Kingdom… all updated with new demographic data (from 2021 to 2022). In addition, some countries have new variables:

  • Finland – 4 new variables on marital status
  • Germany – 4 new variables on education
  • Switzerland – 5 new variables on household type

Advanced Demographics

Advanced Demographics provide a detailed set of data within a country or region and include additional data variables and/or levels of geography. Advanced Demographics are available for a limited set of countries or regions.

February updates include:

Crime Indexesincludes the semi-annual release of Crime Indexes from the 2022B release from Applied Geographic Solutions (AGS). Crime Indexes provide a view of the relative risk of specific crime types. It is not a database of actual crimes, but rather the relative risk in an area compared to the United States in its entirety. The database includes indexes for several categories of personal and property crime.
