What American Community Type Do YOu Live In?

[Skwink]

Map didn't work for me, but my town/county is a former logging boom town.

 

[Theige]

I live in Queens, specifically Astoria/LIC

So if we break it down by neighborhood I live in a blend of Moneyed Suburb / Industrial Metropolis / Service Worker Central.

My guess it that it's about 35/20/40/other

Care to evaluate your neighborhood?

Hey I lived in Astoria last year! There are quite a few immigrants there as well...

I live in Brooklyn now. Definitely part of the "metropolis"

 

[Old Hippy]

I live at present in Melbourne, Australia, i would say its a sprawling Industrial Metropolis, its got Ford, GM, Toyota and several other Asian car manufactures, big financial sector and covers some 3000 sq. Kms. but it has a superb public transport system, so may be i should have voted non American Community Type

 

[Cutlass]

None of them specifically describe my town. The county is described as Industrial Metropolis at the website. Which isn't a very good description of more than a small part of the county. So no real fit there.

Central Canberra tracks closest to "campus and careers" except we vote Labor and Green, not Democrat.

 

[SouthernKing]

Half the people here probably didn't know that there is something called a "recession". You can imagine. So I picked Moneyed 'burbs.

 

[Skwink]

My county was is a Service Worker County, but I disagree.

 

[MantaRevan]

Back when I was in Louisville, my parents were rich, so that one.

None of those really fit where I live. "Campus and Careers" might be closest, but Boom Town, Monied Burb (not where I live, but there are some near where I live), and Service Worker Centers might be possible too?

 

[madviking]

I live in THE monied 'burb.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

It says that I live in the Monied Burbs, but I don't think that is particularly accurate. Monied Burbs would be a much more accurate description of the neighboring counties that are labelled as Boom Towns. Industrial metropolis might be a better label for us. The adjacent Industrial Metropolis county has 11% immigrant population and 68% Obama support, whereas we have 20% immigrant population and 79% Obama support.

I suspect most of the immigrants are concentrated in the parts of the county close to me, and that a lot more of them are from Africa than Latin America. My high school had students from 43 countries when I went there. It was about 2/3 black, and close to half of those were immigrants born in East Africa.

Hmmm, I don't live in the States, but the chunk of Melbourne I live in is probably closest to "Immigration Nation". Not very well-off but very multiethnic, and recent arrivals are often refugees.

Currently I live in San Bernadino County, which is immigration nation. I'd say the majority of the county is just that, although in the mountains where I live it is very rural and whites have a majority.

My hometown/county is classified as 'Booming Towns' and this is very accurate. Riverside county was the fastest growing county in America for a while. Population growth is diversified, with each race growing in that county, although Hispanic populations are growing the fastest.

Hey, I am a lucky non-American!..

 

[mangxema]

Service sector, but you could argue military bastion as well.

 

[jtb1127]

The same monied burb as a bunch of other people on this forum.

 

[Floating Pants]

Boom Town. Makes a lot of sense, seems like everyday I meet a new citizen, turn to see new supermarkets, houses, and banks.

Same thing basically.

I live in Perth and I would say it is a boom town due to the mining up north, since many workers are FIFO.

 

[Arwon]

What's the same thing?
