Hi there,
You may be able to determine the user's location by their profile location
field, but it's not a reliable source of information since it is free-form
and potentially inscrutable, fictional, hilarious, and sometimes parseable.
Some users geotag individual tweets with more reliable location data.
Other demographics like age, gender, income level, occupation, etc are not
available directly from the API nor explicitly collected by Twitter -- some
of the concepts of these demographics wouldn't apply to account types like
companies, robots, cats, illnesses, and institutions. However, it is
possible to derive such data (to what accuracy I am not sure) and a few
companies may provide APIs of this might-be-information.

Is there a way to see the demographics (age, sex, location) of a
user's followers with the twitter api? Any information would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
