Urban & Urbane

Hip and happening describe these 20 - 34 years old single and common-law people living in charming older apartments in the city. University and graduate degrees in visual and cultural arts, communications, life sciences and technology are the catalysts for launching their careers in health, finance and technical occupations. Being in metropolitan areas, they are high users of transit and commuting. Although incomes are well below average at $10,000 - $30,000, they do not have children yet so household expenditures are low and they can spend time and money on themselves, taking in a restaurant meal or simple luxuries such as using dry cleaning services. Immigration is high in this group, bringing global cultures from Latin America, Africa, South Asia and the Middle East to their urban habitats, further refining their budding international and refined tastes. They are moving up, moving on and motivated!
