Relationship of Demographic Data Files. The Demographic Profile Database provides the most comprehensive set of more widely used demographic data. The Basic Demographics file is just that, providing population, housing, land and water areas, and internal point latitude-longitude. The Extended Demographics file provides a wider range of demographic data, but with less depth than the Demographic Profile Database. The Age-Race-Sex Demographics file provides the most age-race-sex detail available from standard Proximity ZIP code data files.

Proximity provides access to much more detailed demographic data on a custom basis. Please inquire if you do not see data that listed that meets your needs.
