Which category would not typically fall under demographics?

Political affiliation is the category that would not typically fall under demographics. Demographics primarily focus on quantifiable characteristics of a population, such as age, gender, and income, which provide a statistical basis for understanding social and economic trends. These factors are often analyzed to identify and segment populations for various purposes, such as marketing or public relations strategies.

Political affiliation, on the other hand, tends to reflect an individual’s beliefs, values, and personal choices rather than demographic characteristics. While there can be demographic correlations with political affiliation (certain age groups or income levels may lean towards specific political parties), political affiliation itself does not define a demographic group in the same quantifiable manner as gender, income, or age. Therefore, it is categorized more as a psychographic or behavioral characteristic rather than a demographic one.
