Want to know if you are an Enterprising Professional or In Style?
You can discover what your neighborhood trends say about you with Esri’s interactive Tapestry map . The tech company analyzes zip code data to define the characteristics of individuals in neighborhoods using a process called segmentation.
Here’s how it works.
This tool sorts areas into 67 unique categories , or segments, based on demographics and socioeconomic characteristics such as age, income + population — aka, it tells us generally who we are and what we have in common with our neighbors.
Input zip codes or click around the map to explore segments that best describe a particular area. In most cases, the results show the top three segments that define a neighborhood.

Madison’s tapestry
- 53703 — the zip code that comprises downtown Madison — the Isthmus — is largely defined as Metro Renters (educated, highly mobile 30-somethings who enjoy cocktail bars, Badgers’ games + the Dane County Farmers’ Market).
- Fitchburg’s 53711 zip code indicates that 36.95% of residents are classified as In Style — urbanites with more infrastructure to support travel, the arts + patronizing local businesses.
- In the suburb of Verona, a mix of Urban Chic , Enterprising Professionals + Workday Drive comprise nearly 60% of the tapestry segmentation.
- The Monona area — 53716 — is over one-third Parks and Rec . These families enjoy the amenities of a quieter neighborhood with good public schools + small-town eateries.
- 53562 — the zip code for Middleton — is primarily In Style + Emerald City . Together the two demographics favor current trends and culture, plus a passion for adventure in eating, travel, and entertainment.
Outside of the segmentation tool, you can do a deeper dive into trending habits based on zip code, right down to shopping preferences + credit card debt.
