How Demographic
Surface Forms
Morphology
sociodemographic = demographic (transparent) = socio + demographic
The combining form 'socio-' (social) added to the adjective 'demographic' yields a clear meaning: relating to both social and population characteristics.
Etymology
Sociodemographic comes from two parts: socio- meaning 'society' or 'social', and demo- meaning 'people', the same root you see in democracy. So sociodemographic describes the social and population facts about people, like age, income, or where they live, which is why we use it to talk about the makeup of a group.
