How to Build a Demographic Map

Once you create a boundary with your own data, all you need to do is:

Choose Your Boundary Type.
Select “Demographic Census Data” as your fill type.
Choose your data group to further refine your data.

Maptive automatically provides the demographic data you need from the U.S. census.

Add demographic census data to your map to gain new insights on your customers and spot key trends that could be beneficial for your business. This type of GIS analysis is extremely valuable when it comes to building sales territories, planning marketing campaigns, and determining the best way to target potential customers.

Our demographic map tool works in conjunction with our boundary tool to provide you with a wealth of useful information about the people living within a selected territory.

Say you would like to find out if there are any areas of high income in Iowa, see how many African Americans live in Los Angeles, or view poverty rates from any other metro area. You can find all of this within moments.

Create detailed geographic boundaries within your map based on zip code, counties, states, or congressional districts. Then simply select the demographic data you want to display for those areas. Click the territories you’ve established on your map to access your demographic insights.
