Weird that. When I am homesick, I watch the O.C.

Claritas Marketing has neatly divided every zip code in America into populations of stereotypes, called "segments." You type in your ZIP code and it will tell you your town's top 5 segments, including demographic breakdowns of each.


Keep an eye out for the Lifestyle Traits in the lower left, which are a hoot. The ones for Money & Brains are: "1. Shop at Nordstrom; 2. Support the arts; 3. Read Business Week; 4. Listen to all-news radio; 5. Drive a Jaguar." Well, three out of five ain't bad.

06 Winner's Circle
Among the wealthy suburban lifestyles, Winner's Circle is the youngest, a collection of mostly 25- to 34-year-old couples with large families in new-money subdivisions. Surrounding their homes are the signs of upscale living: recreational parks, golf courses and upscale malls. With a median income of nearly $90,000, Winner's Circle residents are big spenders who like to travel, ski, go out to eat, shop at clothing boutiques and take in a show.


CY2002 Statistics:
US Households: 1,252,676 (1.16%)
US Population: 4,000,276 (1.39%)
Median HH Income: $93,449

Lifestyle Traits
1. Go downhill skiing
2. Own a home theatre system
3. Read Parents Magazine
4. Watch The Cartoon Network
5. Drive a Chrysler Town & Country

As Atticus says, 4 out of 5 ain't bad.

Your stuff may not smell like smoke anymore, but it still smells like Febreeze, which smells like shit. You can tell who didn't wash their clothes by getting a whiff of their Febreeze scent when they walk by.

Not if you also hang the clothes outside, which will not get rid of smoke but will get rid of Febreze. Sheesh.

2. Eat at Hooters


I guess I have to move now. None of these apply.

I had to see this again. I completley misunderstood the Hooters demo

Damn parents:

"01 Upper Crust
The nation's most exclusive address, Upper Crust is the wealthiest lifestyle in America -a haven for empty-nesting couples over 55 years old. No segment has a higher concentration of residents earning over $200,000 a year or possessing a postgraduate degree. And none has a more opulent standard of living."

Funny, it just seemed like bland suburbia to me when I was growing up. Come to think of it, still does.

BR(followed closely by "02 Blue Blood Estates" and "03 Movers & Shakers" ... all 3 are under the general heading "Elite Suburbs," which I guess is right, but still, I think the machine is broke)C

I was home sick one day a few years back, and had the pleasure of watching Jerry Springer. He had on two couples where the man would go twosie and onesie in a diaper and the wife had to change him. I felt it was sick. I felt the wife shouldn't enable the husband. I watched in shock as one husband made in his diaper and had to go off stage with wife to be changed. I had many emotions that day, but not the urge to vote with my finger.

As to why, I'm sure there are deep dense psych. studies, but truly I believe its what Sebastian said. We simply want to feel superior.

I manage to feel superior during Meet The Press and the nightly news. I haven't had to resort to "at least I'm not shitting in a diaper" to feel good about myself. I predict that if that day ever comes, I'll have been prescribed large quantities of mind-altering drugs.

I meant I felt superior to the wife. I was kind of jealous of the husband.

Absolutely. The older, crustier and cracked it is, the cooler you are, apparently.

Who knew Bilmore leaved near me:

Urban Elders - a segment located in the downtown neighborhoods of such metros as New York, Chicago, Las Vegas and Miami- life is often an economic struggle. These communities have high concentrations of Hispanics and African-Americans, and tend to be downscale, with singles living in older apartment rentals.

Lifestyle Traits
1. Shop at Banana Republic
2. Collect stamps
3. Watch Steve Harvey show
4. Watch Daytime TV
5. Drive a Dodge Neon

I referred to your unavailability, not your grammar. I would say "whiff" but that seems to have fallen into disfavor. But do please be gentle. It still kind of hurts.

I don't date lizards so it hardly mattered anyway green boy.

I didn't know that there was a man involved, but this kind of proves my point.

He dumped her after. Finally grew some balls. And the plot still sucks.


Hmm, it would seem I moved away from upper crust and movers and shakers and over to executive suites. I'm not sure which is worse.

Well, Less fits that part of the demographic.
