Expand your business into untapped and underserved communities and diversify your
recruiting efforts among key populations using Salesforce Maps demographic data. Concentrations of
your search results appear on a map and help you identify where to focus your energy.
In Salesforce Maps, you create data layers using the Demographic Context (USA) data source and
filters that you define.
Plot the data layer on the map, which shows concentrations of households who earn income based
on the display options that you specify.
After you identify concentrated areas, determine where to focus your efforts.
These examples illustrate how different institutions and businesses can use demographic data
available in Salesforce Maps for identifying populations and areas of interest for business and
recruitment expansion.
