This article presents information on the various topics discussed in the October 25, 2005 issue of the journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America." It brings together a collection of seven papers representing work in emerging areas of spatial demography, with special reference to North America. Although place, density, and movement have always had a part in population studies, they have not often held center stage. Demographers' prime coordinates are the two time-like coordinates of time and age. The three space-like coordinates of physical location and the many-dimensional coordinates of social location have tended to play supporting roles.
