demographically = demographic (transparent) = demo + graph + ic + ly

This is a regular adverb formed from the adjective 'demographic', so a learner who knows the adjective can infer the adverbial meaning.

Etymology

The word demographically comes from the Greek root demos meaning 'the people' and -graphy meaning 'writing or study', the same demo- you see in democracy. So, to speak demographically is to talk about the 'make-up' of a population, like people's ages, where they come from, or how many live in a place.
