demographic
Statistical population group
Demographic relates to the statistical characteristics of human populations—age, income, education, ethnicity, location.
As a noun, a demographic is a segment of the population sharing such characteristics: The show appeals to the 18-to-34 demographic.
Advertisers and politicians obsess over demographics, targeting messages to specific groups.
The singular often implies a desired audience: We're not their demographic.
