Esri provides a vast array of global demographic data available through ArcGIS Online premium content and the GeoEnrichment service. These services allow you to create meaningful visual displays, enrich your own data and create customized reports with Business Analyst. Visit our Demographic Coverage Story Map for details on current coverage.

Data sourced by Michael Bauer Research are not available for geographic regions that are considered disputed territories or have sparse population. Disputed territories may be defined as geographic areas that do not have a clear definition of ownership or are in a state of unrest. Below is a detailed list of areas that are known to contain missing or out dated demographic information. These geographic regions are available, but the demographic data within these geographies may return zero values or display as none. Reach out to us through the GeoNet Esri Community or at support@esri.com if you have any questions.
