demographicdefined
The term demographicdefined is a nonstandard or coined compound occasionally used to describe groups that are defined by demographic characteristics. In formal statistical language, the more common phrasing is demographically defined. The idea behind demographicdefined is that the unit of analysis—or target audience—receives its definition from attributes such as age, gender, ethnicity, income, education, and geographic location, rather than from behavioral or psychographic criteria.
Demographicdefined cohorts are used in research, policy, and market contexts to structure analysis, reporting, and outreach.
Typical attributes include age, sex or gender identity, race and ethnicity, income or socioeconomic status, education
Limitations and considerations include the risk of masking within-group diversity, reinforcing stereotypes, and the ecological fallacy
