My GRE score is V153 Q 164. Will this relatively lower verbal score hold me back? My area is quantitative methods and demography.

You might be ok, not totally sure.  You really want to be in at least the 80th percentile on both.  Are you an international?  The expectation then may be that you're sharp enough to get comfortable throughout the first year and actually absorb your theory courses.  If you can, studying hard on the verbal and retaking is not a bad idea.

How about you tell us where you are hoping to get in? It's my experience that the GRE is somewhat overemphasized on these boards, but it really depends on the program and what the rest of your profile looks like.
