Audience Demographics & Breakdown

# Audience Demographics & Breakdown

Understand who is participating in conversations about your brand by exploring demographic attributes available in the Demographics tab.

The Demographics section in Kommon Poll provides insights into the composition of your audience based on publicly available profile information and platform-reported attributes. This helps you analyse who is engaging in conversations across several dimensions such as age, gender, nationality, language, location, occupation, and account type.

Important: Demographic insights are generated only from publicly available data. Kommon Poll does not access private, locked, or restricted user profiles. If demographic information (such as age, gender, location, nationality, or occupation) is not publicly available or has not been shared by the author, it cannot be included in the analysis.

Note: Demographic availability varies by platform. Some charts may represent only a subset of total mentions depending on which demographic attributes are publicly accessible.

8.1.1 Geographic Distribution

The Demographics tab provides multiple levels of geographic insight:

• Country distribution - where mentions originate globally.
• Regional or state distribution - where supported.
• Heatmap view - visualising conversation density, mention clusters, and sentiment across geographic areas.

The Mention Heatmap provides an interactive geographic view of where conversations are taking place. It combines location data, mention density, and sentiment analysis to help you quickly identify engagement patterns across different regions.

Using the heatmap, you can:

• Identify the countries and cities where mentions are originating.
• View mention cluster counts, showing the number of mentions concentrated in each location.
• Analyse positive, neutral, and negative sentiment density through colour-coded heatmap overlays.
• Discover conversation hotspots where engagement is highest.
• Zoom and navigate the map to explore geographic trends in greater detail.

Note: Geographic insights are generated only from publicly available location information extracted from user profiles or platform metadata. If location information is unavailable or hidden due to privacy settings, those mentions cannot be displayed on the map. Darker heatmap areas represent stronger concentrations of mentions for the selected sentiment, while cluster markers display the total number of mentions grouped within a location.

8.1.2 Nationality Breakdown

The nationality chart groups authors by detected or declared nationality.

This supports:

• Understanding cultural diversity.
• Identifying dominant or emerging national groups.
• Noticing cross-border participation around your brand.

8.1.3 Language Distribution

The language chart displays the languages used within mentions.

This helps you:

• Understand linguistic diversity.
• Identify the primary languages used by your audience.
• Plan content and support for multilingual audiences.

8.1.4 Business vs Individuals

This section differentiates between:

• Business or organisational accounts
• Individual or personal accounts

This helps you understand whether conversations are driven primarily by organisations or individual users, supporting both B2B and B2C engagement strategies.

8.1.5 Gender Distribution

Where platforms provide gender metadata or publicly available profile information, the gender distribution chart shows the proportion of mentions attributed to each gender category.

This insight helps you:

• Identify gender representation within conversations.
• Compare audience demographics with your target customer base.

8.1.6 Age Distribution & Population Pyramid

Age breakdown charts and the population pyramid show:

• Participation across different age groups.
• Age and gender comparisons.
• Relative engagement across generational segments.

These visualisations help you understand which age groups are most actively discussing your brand.

8.1.7 Occupation Breakdown

Where occupation data is publicly available, mentions are grouped by job title or profession.

This helps determine:

• Which professional groups engage with your brand most frequently.
• Whether conversations are associated with specific industries or sectors.

Conclusion

The Demographics tab provides a comprehensive view of who is driving conversations around your brand using publicly available demographic information. By analysing audience location, nationality, language, occupation, age, gender, and account type, you can better understand your audience's composition and engagement patterns. These insights support more targeted campaigns, culturally relevant messaging, informed business decisions, and a deeper understanding of the communities interacting with your brand.

Kommon Poll only analyses demographic information that is publicly available through supported platforms. Private or locked accounts, as well as profile attributes that users choose not to disclose (such as age, gender, location, nationality, or occupation), cannot be accessed or inferred. Consequently, demographic charts may represent only a subset of the total mentions collected for your project, depending on the availability of public profile data.
