population data

Headcount statistics collected

Population data is statistical information about the people living in a geographic area—their number, age distribution, birth and death rates, migration patterns, and demographic characteristics.

Governments collect population data through censuses and vital records.

Researchers use it to study trends, allocate resources, and plan services: The population data showed the county had aged significantly since 2010.
