Demographic Maps
Demography is the statistical study of populations, especially human beings. As a very general science, it can analyse any kind of dynamic living population, i.e., one that changes over time or space (see population dynamics). Demography encompasses the study of the size, structure, and distribution of these populations, and spatial or temporal changes in them in response to birth, migration, ageing, and death. Based on the demographic research of the earth, earth’s population up to the year 2050 and 2100 can be estimated by demographers. Demographics are quantifiable characteristics of a given population.
Demographic analysis can cover whole societies or groups defined by criteria such as education, nationality, religion, and ethnicity. Educational institutions usually treat demography as a field of sociology, though there are a number of independent demography departments.

Toronto Police – Crime App
The Toronto Police Service Maps and Data Portal provides an interactive map of the city and shows a variety of major crime indicators for each week. There are also specific maps showing all shootings and homicides in the city in a given time period. The crime maps don’t show exact locations of occurrences, as incidents on the map have been randomly offset in order to protect victim privacy.
