Abstract
Applied demography has comfortably settled into a relatively mature and secure niche at the disciplinary intersection of demography, planning, geography, public health, marketing, and several other fields where the concepts, tools, and data of demography find practical application. The idea is hardly new, of course. The application of demographic thinking to contemporary concerns can be traced from the Black Death and the Bills of Mortality, on the other side of the Atlantic, to unemployment in the Depression, the Great Migration, urban consolidation/suburbanization, an outpouring of migration and population redistribution studies, and the early methodological developments in small-area population research in America.
