Reports

[GA4] Demographic details report

The Demographic details report is a pre-made detail report that provides key characteristics about the people who use a website or app, including a user's language, interests, location, age, and gender.

Only aggregated data from users who consent to sharing demographics data are included in the report. Additionally, data thresholds may be applied when user counts are low to protect the end user's privacy.

About the demographics data

Demographics data for websites

Demographics and interest data come from activating Google signals.
About Google signals
Google signals is a feature by Google that provides access to session data from websites and apps that Google associates with a user who has signed in to their Google Account and turned on Ads personalization.
Activate Google signals
By activating Google signals, you enable Google to associate event data collected from consenting Google Account users with Ads personalization enabled and thereby collect valuable demographics and interest data.
Disable Google signals
To stop collecting demographics and interest data, deactivate Google signals. Deactivating Google signals prevents Analytics from collecting the data going forward, while Analytics retains historical data in reports.

Demographics data for apps

Demographics and interest data come from the Android Advertising ID or iOS Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA).

Android Advertising ID

Analytics generates an identifier based on the ID that includes demographics and interest data derived from users’ app activity.

iOS Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA)

Analytics generates an identifier based on the IDFA that includes demographics and interest data derived from users’ app activity.

Missing a device identifier

When the Device Advertising ID is not present, Analytics cannot derive the demographics and interest data. Therefore, demographics and interest data may only be available for a subset of users and may not represent the overall composition of your traffic.

Why don't I see some demographics data?

If you have activated Google signals, or if device identifiers are present, and you still don't see demographics and interest data, Google Analytics may have applied data thresholds.

About data thresholds

Data thresholds are designed to protect users' privacy by preventing someone in a Google Analytics property from inferring the identity of an end user based on their demographics and interest data. This helps to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and maintain user trust. Learn more

Dimensions in the report

The report includes the following dimensions. If you are an Editor or Administrator, you can add or remove dimensions in the report.

Age

The age of the user by bracket. Brackets include '18-24', '25-34', '35-44', '45-54', '55-64', and '65+'.

Note: Google Analytics uses the "unknown" dimension value to indicate that there isn't enough information to determine the user's age or gender.
This dimension is populated automatically when you activate Google signals; however, data thresholds may be applied.
