The work is devoted to the description of the effectiveness of the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for the analysis of demographic processes. GIS allows you to take into account the spatial reference of the estimated indicators, simulate various demographic processes such as migration flow, natural population growth, and have tools for creating analytical maps and spatial analysis. All of the above significantly improves the results of the analysis of demographic processes and makes it possible to identify patterns of various situations depending on their location. The paper provides a geospatial analysis of demographic processes in the Southern Federal District (SFD). The QGis GIS has developed a project in which a map of the Southern Federal District territory is visualized with linked up-to-date statistical information, cartograms reflecting natural population growth and migration processes of the Southern Federal District for 2023-2024 are built. Based on the developed project, a geospatial analysis was carried out, reflecting the spatial and temporal features of demographic processes and trends in their development.
