Population Profile




A population profile is a type of map that is used to show the demographics of a population. The map shows an analysis of the number of people in a location as a function of their age. These maps can then be used for statistical conclusions for the locations being measured. The picture above shows a population profile of Ketton. As one can see from the map, the largest part of the population in Ketton consists of people between the ages of 34-54 followed by the second highest being people between the ages of 55-64. If one were to look at this population profile, conclusions could then be made for statistical data. The map could also be used to help with attraction building. Due to the fact that the population can be classified as middle age adults, attractions should be placed in Ketton that attract an older crowd rather than, for example, a bar that attracts young adults who make up the smallest part of the population.
