Have you ever wondered about the common behaviors of the people in your city? You may wish to intricately understand customer behaviors to adapt your business model based on location. If this is the case, then Esri Tapestry Segmentation is a need-to-have dataset that can reveal the unique lifestyles and behaviors of select populations.
What is Esri Tapestry Segmentation?
Esri Tapestry Segmentation classifies US neighborhoods into 14 unique LifeMode groups. These groups are then further classified as 67 different consumer-segments with commonly shared traits. For example, Metro Renters – Tapestry Segment 3B, is within LifeMode Group: Uptown Individuals.
Tapestry Segmentation delivers an overview of a variety of demographic and behavioral characteristics. The data can provide insight on important consumer variables, such as age, education level, the likeliness of car or home ownership, a consumer’s willingness to buy or purchase certain products, and their overall economic purchasing power. You can learn how consumers like to receive information – whether through online ads, print mediums, or civic events. You can also see fundamental differences within communities, depending on where consumers are located within an area.

Who is Using Tapestry Segmentation?
It may come as no surprise to you that many businesses in the Fortune 1000 choose Esri’s Tapestry Segmentation to drive results in all facets of their business. Organizations large and small use Tapestry to perform persona research on their consumers. In turn, these organizations can develop better products and services to meet consumer demand. Additionally, for agencies and organizations looking to develop direct-to-consumer marketing, effective communication strategies, and loyalty programs, Tapestry Segmentation can indicate the characteristics of a neighborhood that will influence the success of a campaign – including buying power, brand interest, and personal values.
For the leading, national retail-only real estate service provider, The Shopping Center Group (TSCG), Esri Tapestry Segmentation gives traditional demographics personality. Tapestry allows the company to bring together who the consumer is and where they are. TCSG’s deep knowledge of hyper-local markets is translated as location intelligence to TSCG brokers and their clients. The information received from Tapestry is valuable and competitive, presenting opportunities that may otherwise be overlooked.
Similar to TSCG, the United States Census Bureau understood that diverse populations have different personalities and preferences. In order to complete the first-ever digital collection of US Census data in 2020, the team needed to plan for success in response rates. By using Tapestry Segmentation and overlaying the data onto maps, the Census Bureau was able to perform deep analysis to find outreach opportunities, just as a corporate marketing team might. Armed with insight into the profiles of each segment, the Bureau customized outreach to hard-to-count populations during the 2020 Census.
