Demographers want to learn more about the people who live in a given area. Their interests include statistics one would expect like age, race, and gender, but they also include more nuanced information like their philosophies and perspectives. Where did they come from? Where might they go next?

Tippett has studied education in North Carolina and has presented research on the postsecondary attainment gap.
