statistical
'statistisch' and 'demographisch' are close to each other because both often involve numbers. 'Statistisch' generally describes something that has to do with statistics, data, or calculations. 'Demographisch' describes only topics related to the population, for example age, origin, distribution, or growth. The risk of confusion arises because demographic questions are often studied using statistical methods. If it is generally about data, use 'statistisch'. If it is specifically about the population, 'demographisch' is more precise.
