Abstract: Abstract Demographic analysis and population estimation requires the use of quantitative measures and graphical techniques. This chapter discusses commonly used measures in demography, geography, and statistics (e.g., Barber 1988: Chapter 3; Freedman, Pisani, and Purves 2007; Siegel and Swanson 2004; Smith, Tayman, and Swanson 2001: Chapter 2). We also present graphical techniques for presenting and analyzing tabular and spatial data (e.g., Jacoby 1997, 1998; Krygier and Wood 2011; Tufte 1990, 1997, 2001; Tyner, 2010).
