“Segments” reflect demographic shifts over the last decade to established consumer markets, as well as the emergence of new markets due to population growth, demographic and socioeconomic change and transforming consumer behavior. Reflecting the diversity among American neighborhoods, Tapestry includes 67 distinct market segments.
When you open the “Tapestry Profile” file you will see listed the top three segments for each parish territory or Family is seen in the bottom right corner of the infographic. A five-page detail description for each segment listed can be found in the Tapestry Segments folder below. You can also access these descriptions by visiting this link. Links for each possible segment are listed midway down the web page as part of the LifeMode descriptions.
LifeMode groups represent markets that share a common experience—born in the same generation or immigration from another country, for example—or a significant demographic trait, such as affluence. Tapestry segments are classified into 14 LifeMode groups.
When you open the “Tapestry Profile” file you will see the LifeModes listed along the left side of the infographic.
