Age-Sex Profiles of Russia's Indigenous Small-Numbered Peoples from the 2020 Census

Russian Federation census data from 2020 provides age-sex profiles for legally recognized Indigenous Small-Numbered Peoples. The dataset contains 103 ethnonym-by-territory profiles, each with a population of at least 200 individuals, analyzed using principal component analysis and clustering. Arseniy M. Sitkovskiy created this typology, last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing youth-to-ageing demographic gradients based on the principal component analysis results.
• Clustering indigenous groups into younger and older demographic typologies based on median age and ageing index.
• Evaluating when national demographic profiles can proxy for core regional populations based on the L1 distance analysis.

Strengths

• Data is derived from the official 2020 All-Russian Population Census tabulations by Rosstat.
• Analysis includes 103 distinct ethnonym × territory profiles with a minimum population threshold of N≥200.
• The study provides specific statistical results, such as a mean median age of 31.4 years for the younger cluster (n=86).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's 376.7 KB size suggests a limited scope, likely containing aggregated summary statistics rather than individual-level records.
