The population

Who you are asking

One synthetic profile per resident, built from public statistics and anonymized survey records. Every attribute below can define a population to ask, and every answer is broken down by them. Open an attribute to see its values and how the population splits across them. No profile describes a real person.

Drawn for every adult from survey distributions by sex, age, race and education, fitted to each state.

Current Population Survey supplements: voting and registration (November 2024), civic engagement and volunteering (September 2023); the Cooperative Election Study 2024 for party, ideology and the presidential vote

Every country and area by age and sex, with fewer attributes than the United States; the tree is shallower because the data is, and every answer says so.

What is not here yet

Cities and counties, households as groups of people with relationships, and your own customer lists. Attitudes are not attributes: they come from the simulation, checked against real surveys, and every answer says how far off its kind of question tends to be.
