What characteristic is not part of demographic information?

  1. Religion

  2. Political beliefs

  3. Race

  4. Occupation

The correct answer is: Political beliefs

Demographic information typically includes statistics that characterize a population, such as race, occupation, age, gender, income level, and often religion. These characteristics are measurable and help in understanding the makeup of a demographic group. Political beliefs, while significant in understanding someone's preferences and behaviors, do not fall under the traditional scope of demographic data, which is focused on more quantitative attributes. Therefore, the characteristic that is not part of demographic information is political beliefs. It represents subjective values and opinions rather than the measurable attributes defined in demographic studies.
