Important Note: This item is in mature support as of June 2023 and will be retired in December 2025. This map displays the dominant LifeMode Summary Group in the USA by country, state, county, ZIP Code, tract, and block group, based on Esri's Tapestry Segmentation system. The popup refers to state, county, ZIP Code, tract, and block group values depending on scale. Each popup is configured to display the following information within each geography level:Dominant Tapestry SegmentLink to more information about the predominant Tapestry SegmentTotal populationMedian age (Median Age web map)Diversity Index (Diversity Index web map)Median household income (Median Household Income web map)Median disposable income (Median Disposable Income web map)Count of households by Tapestry LifeMode Summary GroupCount of population by race/ethnicityLink to more information about Esri's DemographicsPermitted use of this data is covered in the DATA section of the Esri Master Agreement (E204CW) and these supplemental terms.

Tapestry segment descriptions can be found here..http://www.esri.com/library/brochures/pdfs/tapestry-segmentation.pdf For more than 30 years, companies, agencies, and organizations have used segmentation to divide and group their consumer markets to more precisely target their best customers and prospects. This targeting method is superior to using “scattershot” methods that might attract these preferred groups. Segmentation explains customer diversity, simplifies marketing campaigns, describes lifestyle and lifestage, and incorporates a wide range of data. Segmentation systems operate on the theory that people with similar tastes, lifestyles, and behaviors seek others with the same tastes—“like seeks like.” These behaviors can be measured, predicted, and targeted. Esri’s Tapestry Segmentation system combines the “who” of lifestyle demography with the “where” of local neighborhood geography to create a model of various lifestyle classifications or segments of actual neighborhoods with addresses—distinct behavioral market segments. The tapestry segmentation is almost comical in the sense that it trys to describe such small details of individuals daily lives just by analyzing the data provided on your CENSUS form. These segements are not only ideal for marketing and targeting lifestyles within a geographic location, but they are fun to read. Take the time to find out which segment you live in!

If one or more points is input as a study area, the service will create a one-mile ring buffer around the points or points to collect and append enrichment data. You can optionally change the ring buffer size or create drive-time service areas around a point.The GeoEnrichment service uses a sophisticated geographic retrieval methodology to aggregate data for rings and other polygons. A geographic retrieval methodology determines how data is gathered and summarized or aggregated for input features. For standard geographic units, such as states, provinces, counties, or postal codes, the link between a designated area and its attribute data is a simple one-to-one relationship. For example, if an input study trade area contains a selection of ZIP Codes, the data retrieval is a simple process of gathering the data for those areas.Data Allocation MethodThe Data Allocation method allocates block group data to custom areas by examining where the population is located within the block group and determines how much of the population of a block group overlaps a custom area. This method is used in the United States, and similarly in Canada. The population data reported for census blocks, a more granular level of geography than block groups, is used to determine where the population is distributed within a block group. If the geographic center of a block falls within the custom area, the entire population for the block is used to weight the block group data. The geographic distribution of the population at the census block level determines the proportion of census block group data that is allocated to user specified areas as shown in the example.Note:Depending on the data, households, housing units or businesses at the block group level are used as weights. Employing block centriods is superior because it accounts for the possibility that the population may not be evenly distributed geographically throughout a block group.

The United States Geological Survey has published a new global ecosystems map of unprecedented detail that lets you explore a tapestry of World ecosystems. The map was produced by a team led by Roger Sayre, Ph.D., Senior Scientist for Ecosystems at the USGS Land Change Science Program. It is a mosaic of almost 4,000 unique ecological areas called Ecological Land Units (ELUs) based on four factors that are key in determining the makeup of ecosystems. Three of these—bioclimate, landforms, and rock type—are physical phenomena that drive the formation of soils and the distribution of vegetation. The fourth, land cover, is the vegetation that is found in a location as a response to the physical factors. This Story Map Journal has two main features, an ecosystems browser and an ecosystem tour. In the ecosystem browser, point and click at any location on the map and the name of that ecosystem appears in a pop-up box. In general, tans are deserts, yellows and light greens are savannas, darker greens are forests, mountainous regions have texture, reddish is warm and bluish is cold. The browser includes pan and zoom functions. ​The ecosystem tour starts on the next page of this map journal. It features places on Earth where the diversity of Ecological Facets (EFs), the building blocks of ELUs, is highly concentrated in an area. The world is divided up into 3.5 billion cells, each one 250 meters on a side, and each of these cells represents one of 47,500 types of EFs. The areas described in the following pages are all locations with relatively high numbers of EFs. While these are areas of high ecological landscape diversity, they are not necessarily areas of high biodiversity. Many EFs have naturally low species diversity, or have been heavily modified by human activity. The areas in the ecosystem tour below include many interesting and beautiful locations that are widely scattered across our hugely diverse planet.

Tapestry Segment summaries

The 67 distinct markets of Tapestry detail the diversity of the American population. Grouping the segments can simplify these differences by summarizing markets that share similar traits. There are 14 LifeMode groups and 6 Urbanization groups.

LifeMode groups

LifeMode groups represent markets that share a common experience—born in the same generation or immigration from another country—or a significant demographic trait, like affluence. Tapestry Segments are classified into 14 LifeMode groups.
