Yes, cool! Thanks, astro.
Huge spike in the 18-20 age group – think the college might have something to do with that? :smack:
Very cool, astro!
Feh. All I get is a TCP_ERROR…I guess that site can’t handle the Teeming Millions…
Median household income (1999): $98466 :eek:
No wonder I can’t afford where I’m living.
Huge spike in 13 year old girls in my area.
Great site, astro.
Wow, I can see my house from here!

I’m really intrigued by the distribution by resident’s age. I really thought there would be a huge spike in the late 20s, early 30s, but there’s not. Also, I wonder why for most of the adult years, the male and female lines mirror each other, but females slightly outnumber men. At first, I thought that reflected marriages, but then the numbers should be equal. I guess all of the singles in the neighborhood are women and the numbers are relatively stable over the age distribution, with married couples determining the shape of the curves. 
Can you tell I’m a science geek?

Getting back to my roots here. Here’s my hometown.
Where I grew up.
Median age: 45.2
Average household size: 2.66
Median household income (1999): $119832
Almost nobody in college or in their late 20’s-30’s, lots of Dual Income-Two Kids yuppies.
Where I live now.
Median age: 29.6
Average household size: 2.51
Median household income (1999): $38237
I’m walking/biking distance from four colleges. Huge spike in 18-22 year olds.
Eight houses on my block have kids under the age of 8.
All boys.
That’s really cool! I can totally pinpoint my house on the map.
I wonder where the 8 houses worth over $1,000,000 are.
I was surprised that there wasn’t a demographic for Hispanics. We have quite a large Hispanic population in our neighborhood. Also, I didn’t think there were that many more White people than Black. I thought it was pretty close to even.
Interesting where the 6-8 y.o. boys spikes up and 6-8 y.o. girls spikes down at the same time.
Anyone ever see one of these things for us folk in the Great White North??
That is really cool!
Hmm…now that’s odd. My town is regularly in the top 3 when the FBI releases their annual “safest towns” list. For some reason, we don’t make the top 100 according to these folks.
(Now that I think about it, I know we won’t make the FBI list this year because we had a murder over the summer…dunno if that was factored in to this list though)
Claritas PRIZM is really a lot more fun. The most common “PRIZM segments” in 44121 are:
[ul][li]American Dreams: American Dreams is a living example of how ethnically diverse the nation has become: more than half the residents are Hispanic, Asian or African-American. In these multilingual neighborhoods -one in ten speaks a language other than English- middle-aged immigrants and their children live in middle-class comfort.[/li]
[li]The Cosmopolitans: Educated, midscale and multi-ethnic, The Cosmopolitans are urbane couples in America’s fast-growing cities. Concentrated in a handful of metros -such as Las Vegas, Miami and Albuquerque- these households feature older home-owners, empty-nesters and college graduates. A vibrant social scene surrounds their older homes and apartments, and residents love the nightlife and enjoy leisure-intensive lifestyles.[/li]
[li]Money & Brains: The residents of Money & Brains seem to have it all: high incomes, advanced degrees and sophisticated tastes to match their credentials. Many of these citydwellers, predominantly white with a high concentration of Asian Americans, are married couples with few children who live in fashionable homes on small, manicured lots.[/li]
[li]Multi-Culti Mosaic: An immigrant gateway community, Multi-Culti Mosaic is the urban home for a mixed populace of younger Hispanic, Asian and African-American singles and families. With nearly a quarter of the residents foreign born, this segment is a mecca for first-generation Americans who are striving to improve their lower-middle-class status.[/li]
Close-In Couples: Close-In Couples is a group of predominantly older, African-American couples living in older homes in the urban neighborhoods of mid-sized metros. High school educated and empty nesting, these 55-year-old-plus residents typically live in older city neighborhoods, enjoying secure and comfortable retirements.[/ul]
85% of the people in my zip code are white. Can’t say as I’m surprised.
Awesome!
Where I live now.
Where I grew up.
Well, I checked the area near my office, which is mostly Mexican, and it shows it as mostly white, so it clearly doesn’t differentiate Hispanics from WASPs. Other than that it’s very interesting.
I’m not sure I’m impressed, at least by the accuracy of this data. My zip code, according to this, actually has more people claiming German than American origin. And Hispanics, the fastest growing population segment, seem to be lumped in with “other groups”. What do they mean by “first ancestries?” Is it where you or your parents actually came from, or where you think some of your ancestors lived 10 generations ago?
