Both MapBusinessOnline subscriptions for Standard and Pro include access to Demographic Data by subject. The USA demographic categories are sub-divided into rough annual release years, mirroring the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) segmentation by release date.
MapBusinessOnline Canada coverage subscriptions provide access to Canadian demographic data.
For any given year, MapBusinessOnline lists the demographic categories by subject. Click on any map object and select the Summary button for a quick analysis of up to ten subjects. As a reminder, a map object is:
- An object on the map drawn from a polygon, circle, drive time, or freeform draw or search tool
- A map layer object – ZIP code, Census Tract, County, State, or City Limit
- An object on the map derived from a driving time and distances query
- A territory, region, or division

Data Window Views for Analysis
In addition to the selected map object’s summary button, the map user can open the Data Window analysis view compiling a relevant set of demographic data associated with covered geography. The Data Window lets the user select the entire ZIP code map layer, as an example, and apply Demographic Data to that layer using the Choose Columns button in the lower right corner. Read more about Choose Columns here.
All MapBusinessOnline demographic data is exports as a CSV file. After compiling your data in the Data Window view and perhaps filtering the view to fine-tune the results, use the far-right button on the Data Window toolbar to Export the demographic analysis data.

MapBusinessOnline’s USA demographic data library is stored and accessed by year of release. The current two years (2019 and 2020) are projection datasets from a third-party provider. Business map users desire projections because the US Census Bureau has not released data updates for the most recent years. The projection data is sourced from a third-party source that specializes in developing accurate demographic projections.
See It or Count It
MapBusinessOnline demographic data is applied visually as a thematic topic across a map layer, such as ZIP codes or Counties. Thematic visualizations allow ZIP codes to be color-coded based on population density or median household income, to name a few examples.
Demographic data library selections can be appended into map layer and territory labels. Any ZIP code, county, state, or territory provides five flexible label fields that accept demographic data for labeling. Thus, a ZIP code label will display the ZIP code number with population, income, ethnicity, household, or consumer spending data reflected beneath it. Read more about appending labels here.
Combining thematic map layers and demographic label presentation creates a compelling map that informs the map viewer of the diversity of characteristics that define any area of interest.
Demographic analysis or simply thematic theme presentation enhances sales territory maps, strategic maps, market analysis maps, even plain old ZIP code maps. All major markets apply demographic data to their map projects:
- Construction
- Large Enterprise
- Finance
- Franchising
- Health Care
- Insurance
- Manufacturing
- Retail
- Technology
- Transportation & Logistics
Demographic data is the hot fudge on your business mapping software vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend.
