Young, well-educated, ambitious, and hard-working, we're climbing the ladder in STEM occupations and will change jobs often to advance. You can find us in rented condos, townhouses, or apartments in lower density neighborhoods of large metros. Our neighborhoods are diverse; more than 20 percent of the population is Asian. Technology is major for us; we're early adopters of new devices and happy to discuss and advise peers about technology. Trendy clothes and name brands are important purchases; we also shop on Amazon for convenience. Favorite restaurants include The Cheesecake Factory, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks for coffee. We travel for business; in our spare time, we gamble, visit museums, go to the beach, and watch movies and TV with video on demand via a high-speed connection.

 

Yea, that couldn't be much more far off.  The only thing it got right was Chick-fil-A, travelling for business (I'm in the military...), beaches and the movies and TV on the internet.

28704 (Arden, NC)

In the last decade, our neighborhoods changed from country to semi-rural as the housing boom expanded into the outer suburbs. We're conservative, family-oriented young couples, many with children. Family, faith, and country are the standards we follow. We're thrifty, preferring to buy American and take vacations in the US. Looking toward the future, we're saving, but willing to assume some debt now. Staying in touch is important, so our cell phones and mobile devices are always at hand. We drive trucks and SUVs and enjoy the American pastimes of baseball, hunting and bowling. TV and magazines provide information and entertainment; Christian and country TV channels are favorites. - See more at: http://www.esri.com/data/esri_data/ziptapestry#sthash.4GK2NKc2.dpuf

unfortunately, this is mostly true... although, i'd counter that the area is more old folks than young couples, and the oldies are conservative while the younger folks are much more liberal and spilling out of Asheville as they start their families, begin their careers and start looking for a piece of property that they can call their own. as these older folks start selling off their land and passing away, we'll starting moving away from all the conservative thinking and become a more liberal region. can't wait

Laptops and Lattes, lol.

We're well-educated, two income, goal-oriented professionals who prospered during the Great Recession. To support our upscale suburban lifestyle, both parents work, tolerating long hours and long commutes. Our schedules are complicated, balancing work and activities for our school-aged kids. Because we're all so busy, organization is critical to daily life. To save time, we contract for home maintenance services such as housekeeping and professional cleaners. We're experts on all of our devices. Financially savvy, we continue to invest wisely and grow our portfolios. Interest payments and dividends boost our household income. The comforts of home are priorities; we're proud of our picture-perfect homes, constantly upgrading, and will spend time and money on projects. Everyone in the family reads on tablets, e-readers, or smartphones, but prefer hard copies of epicurean, home, or sports magazines.

For starters my wife, and most wives around me are stay at home moms

I wish we were living off investments

[Mother Grabber]

mine says that I'm a dick...sounds about right.

[Sapper]

We've achieved our corporate career goals and can now either consult or operate our own businesses. We're married couples with older children or without children. Every home maintenance chore in our lavish homes is handled by a variety of contracted services. We can indulge ourselves in personal services at upscale salons, spas, and fitness centers, and shop at high-end retailers for anything we desire. We travel frequently, sparing no expense in taking luxury vacations or visiting our second homes in the US and overseas. Evenings and weekends are filled with opera, classical music concerts, charity dinners, and shopping. We support the arts and other charities, read to expand our knowledge, and depend on the Internet, radio, and newspapers for information. Spending time with family and a small circle of close friends is a priority.

We're empty nesters or empty-nester wannabes who still have adult children living at home in established, owner occupied suburban neighborhoods. We're well-educated, well-read, and well-capitalized. We research products prior to purchase, and seek quality instead of price. Technology is used for everything including communicating, shopping, banking, and staying current on the news. Even though we're financially secure, we use a variety of resources for informed investing. We're not afraid of debt and may carry first and second mortgages and a line of credit. Late-model SUVs, station wagons, and minivans may be in our driveways. We're foodies and enjoy cooking; natural or organic products are preferred. We exercise, and buy top-of-the-line gear for golf and skiing. Good food and wine and cultural events are also not to be missed. - See more at: http://www.esri.com/data/esri_data/ziptapestry#sthash.kyGPhyGA.dpuf

Mine called me a ho.

[Ja Rhule]

This nailed it...

 

We're muscular, confident and sex driven animals who love wild random sex. We're well-educated, well-read, and well-capitalized. We research products prior to purchase, and seek quality instead of price, especially when it comes to hookers and blow. Technology is used for everything including communicating, shopping, banking, and sexual intercorsing. Even though we're financially secure, we use a variety of resources to get laid. We're not afraid of debt and may carry first and second mortgages to support our sexual habbits. Late-model SUVs, station wagons, and bangvans may be in our driveways. We're foodies and enjoy cooking; natural or organic vaginas are preferred. We exercise, and buy top-of-the-line sex gear for outdoor activities. Good food and wine and orgy events are also not to be missed. - See more at: http://www.esri.com/...h.kyGPhyGA.dpuf
