Create Demographic Maps Quickly and Easily

Create Demographic Maps in Just a Few Clicks

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.

Create demographic maps based on geographic boundaries including zip codes, counties, cities, states, or congressional districts. Then select the type of demographic data (income levels, race, age, education, etc.) you want to display for those areas. Finally, click the territories you’ve established on your map to access your demographic insights.

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 refine your data further.

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 benefit your business. This type of GIS analysis is precious for building sales territories, planning marketing campaigns, and determining the best way to target potential customers.
