Your Demographics

Via Yglesias, a fun and interesting Sunday morning diversion: check out this website that uses census data to give you the demographic of your ZIP code. Especially interesting for you new yorkers, where ZIP codes are proxy for income, level of bourgeoisity, and, of course, coolness. My ZIP turns out, like much of Manhattan, to be wealthy and educated. But it’s also interestingly more stable than its neighbors, with over half of residents living in the ZIP for more than five years. Which in Manhattan real estate market terms, is a lifetime.
