How does the concept of scale influence demographic analysis in the study of population composition within a specific urban area?
It limits the demographic variables to either age or sex, but not both, within urban spatial studies.
It determines the level of detail and scope, affecting the interpretation of spatial demographic patterns.
It exclusively focuses on international migration patterns impacting urban demographics.
It dictates the precise population numbers that can be analyzed for an urban area without any data aggregation.
How might a high dependency ratio impact the cultural landscape of a community?
It could lead to uniform architectural styles as economic focus is placed on efficiency.
The community might experience an increase in industrial zones to support economic growth.
A high influx of tourists may occur due to the unique population composition.
There may be more facilities catering to the dependent age groups, like playgrounds or retirement homes.
What does the term "sex ratio" refer to in population geography?
The percentage of male and female immigrants in a population.
The number of males per 100 females in a population.
The difference between total male and female populations.
