We know about black holes primarily on two mass scales(e.g., see Figure 22 of ref.[1]). Supermassive black holes inhabit the centers of galaxies, where they sometimes power active galactic nuclei (AGN). Their populations can be probed through AGN surveys, tidal disruption event surveys, and (in the closest galaxies) stellar and gas dynamics in the innermost regions where the black hole dominates the gravitational potential.
