Demographic Community
<Back to Online Community Types

These communities can be based on a particular age group such as baby boomers or seniors; sexuality such as gay or lesbian; or geography such as for people located in Byron Bay; or even on a combination of factors such as for lesbian babyboomers living in America!

They are designed to provide members with the ability to interact and access information. Features might include online dating, instant messaging, classifieds, member profiles, auctions, message boards, email groups, news items, resources, directories, events, community links, discussion topics etc.

These communities might be run for profit or sponsored by a community organisation or local goverment.

Being online will provide the ability to reach larger numbers of this particular demographic than what would normally be possible. These communities often provide access to much needed information and support.
