population statistics

Population statistics involve collecting and analyzing data about the size, distribution, and characteristics of people in a specific area or group. This includes information like age, gender, income, education, and health. These statistics help governments, businesses, and organizations understand trends, plan public services, allocate resources, and make informed decisions. They are gathered through surveys, censuses, and vital records, providing a snapshot of a population's makeup and changes over time, which are essential for effective policy and planning.
