Answer 1

Demographics are the kinds of people who live in a place—like their ages, where they came from, and the jobs they do. If many people move to a city or a town gets smaller, it can change how many leaders that place has and how voting areas are drawn. Leaders try to help the kinds of people who live there, so new groups can make them focus on things like better schools, hospitals, or jobs. The government counts people with the census to decide where to send money and services, so changes in population help decide what a community needs.
