Build an audience

Pick a place, add filters, and combine them with all of, any of, or leave out. The count updates as you go, from public Census data loaded on this site, and every figure says where it came from.

How to read a figure

  • Census count: added up straight from cells the Census Bureau published, shown with its margin of error.
  • Combined estimate: every part is published, joined by a stated assumption. Always a range.
  • Model estimate: includes an interest or behavior rate no Census table measures. Always a range.
  • From your inputs: something you typed, such as a budget.

Start from

Describe who you want

For example: women in their thirties who cook at home in Chicago, but not Spanish speakers. We read it with written rules, not AI, and show you what we understood before anything changes.

Your words go only to this site, to be read. They are not saved and never go to anyone else.

Templates

One action sets up a common audience. Your place stays as it is.

  • Gen Z shoppers

    Adults aged 18 to 29 who shop online often.

    People in management or computer and mathematical occupations who work in the information industry or in professional, scientific, and technical services.

    Construction business locations (NAICS 23) with fewer than 20 employees.
