This book forever changed how I understand American society and culture. The book was published two decades ago but structurally it is still relevant today. Geodemographic analysis allows the lifestyle, personality, politics, education, consumption of a person to be analyzed by their ZIP+2 code. You are similar to your neighbors. And people in similar ZIP+2 cluster, though living in a different metropolitan area, will have more in common with you than people in a differing cluster type who live in an adjacent ZIP to you. The data is taken from everywhere: credit cards, voter polls, car registration, consumer participation cards, magazine subscriptions. It can be fun to try to overlay your own impressions of peoples you have met against the 50+ clusters. Which one are you in?

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2012
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2009This book is an interesting overview of how the Claritas system of neighborhood clustering works. It was published in the 80s, and the details and demographics are far outdated at this point in time. So don't get this book for the specifics (of which, there are chapters and chapters), but rather for the broad explanations, which are still useful.
