- 16. AffluentEstates–TopTier 16 Who Are We? The residents of the wealthiest Tapestry market, Top Tier, earn more than three times the US household income. They have the purchasing power to indulge any choice, but what do their hearts’ desire? Aside from the obvious expense for the upkeep of their lavish homes, consumers select upscale salons, spas, and fitness centers for their personal well-being and shop at high-end retailers for their personal effects. Whether short or long, domestic or foreign, their frequent vacations spare no expense. Residents fill their weekends and evenings with opera, classical music concerts, charity dinners, and shopping. These highly educated professionals have reached their corporate career goals. With an accumulated average net worth of over 1.5 million dollars and income from a strong investment portfolio, many of these older residents have moved into consulting roles or operate their own businesses. Socioeconomic Traits Top Tier is a highly educated, successful consumer market: more than one in three residents has a postgraduate degree. Annually, they earn more than three times the US median household income, primarily from wages and salary, but also self-employment income (Index 177) and investments (Index 242). These are the nation’s wealthiest consumers. They hire financial advisers to manage their diverse investment portfolios but stay abreast of current financial trends and products. Socially responsible consumers who aim for a balanced lifestyle, they are goal oriented and hardworking but make time for their kids or grandkids and maintain a close-knit group of friends. These busy consumers seek variety in life. They take an interest in the fine arts; read to expand their knowledge; and consider the Internet, radio, and newspapers as key media sources. They regularly cook their meals at home, attentive to good nutrition and fresh organic foods. Neighborhood Married couples without children or married couples with older children dominate this market. Housing units are owner occupied with the highest home values—and above average use of mortgages. Neighborhoods are older and located in the suburban periphery of the largest metropolitan areas, especially along the coasts. Households: 2,052,000 Average Household Size: 2.82 Median Age: 46.2 Median Household Income: $157,000 Affluent Estates – Top Tier The Diversity Index summarizes racial and ethnic diversity.

- 18. ProfessionalPride 18 Who Are We? Professional Pride consumers are well-educated career professionals that have prospered through the Great Recession. To maintain their upscale suburban lifestyles, these goal oriented couples work, often commuting far and working long hours. However, their schedules are fine-tuned to meet the needs of their school age children. They are financially savvy; they invest wisely and benefit from interest and dividend income. So far, these established families have accumulated an average of 1.5 million dollars in net worth, and their annual household income runs at more than twice the US level. They take pride in their newer homes and spend valuable time and energy upgrading. Their homes are furnished with the latest in home trends, including finished basements equipped with home gyms and in-home theaters. Socioeconomic Traits Professional Pride consumers are highly qualified in the science, technology, law, or finance fields; they’ve worked hard to build their professional reputation or their start-up businesses. These consumers are willing to risk their accumulated wealth in the stock market. They have a preferred financial institution, regularly read financial news, and use the Internet for banking transactions. These residents are goal oriented and strive for lifelong earning and learning. Life here is well organized; routine is a key ingredient to daily life. Neighborhood Typically owner occupied (Index 173), single-family homes are in newer neighbor hoods: 59% of units were built in the last 20 years. Neighborhoods are primarily located in the suburban periphery of large metropolitan areas. Most households own two or three vehicles; long commutes are the norm. Homes are valued at more than twice the US median home value, although three out of four homeowners have mortgages to pay off. Families are mostly married couples (almost 80% of households), and more than half of these families have kids. Their average household size, 3.11, reflects the presence of children. Households: 1,878,000 Average Household Size: 3.11 Median Age: 40.5 Median Household Income: $127,000 Professional Pride – Top Tier The Diversity Index summarizes racial and ethnic diversity.

This is the new growth market, with a profile similar to the original: young professionals with families that have opted to trade up to the newest housing in the suburbs.

Unemployment is low at 5.2% (Index60); high labor force participation at 71% most households have more than two workers Longer commute times from the suburban growth corridors have created more home workers. They are well connected: own the latest devices and understand how to use them efficiently; biggest complaints-too many devices and too many intrusions on personal time. Financial planning is well under way for these professionals. Our Neighborhood Growth markets are in the suburban periphery of large metropolitan areas. Young families are married with children ; average household size is 3.22. Home ownership is 84% with the highest rate of mortgages, 78% Primarily single-family homes, in new neighborhoods, 72% built since 2000 Median home value is $293,000 (Index 165). Lower housing vacancy rate at 5.3%.

- 27. GrowthStrategies 27 Identify un-served or under-served markets Some US institutes or organizations work for the re-structuring of the play spaces for children in underserved communities. Sports is a powerful vehicle for youth development and social change and thus their efforts on programs and projects can improve the health and well-being of children in underserved communities The residents of many U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, San Jose, New Orleans, and Dallas lack adequate access to parks and open space near their homes. Low-income neighborhoods populated by minorities and recent immigrants are especially short of park space Local government, correctional institutes, and some non-profit organizations Market Niche/Product Lines Turf and grounds equipment (e.g., commercial mowers, turf tractors, and other turf care products) will post some of the fastest gains as the number of landscaping establishments continues to climb and existing firms expand their fleets Robotic lawnmowers are expected to remain a niche product in the residential market through the forecast period. Lawn-mowers and turf and grounds equipment, the two largest product segments, will combine to account for over half of value gains through 2019. Smaller segments such as hedge trimmers, blowers, sweepers and vacuums are also forecast to register above average growth as landscaping establishments expand and replace equipment and as commercial users become more confident in higher value, battery-powered models Additional Product Lines Apart from the turf grass, the additional product lines are seed, fertilizers, pesticides, lawn treatments etc. Los Angeles San Jose New Orleans Dallas Lawn-mowers Turf and grounds equipment+ over half of value gains through 2019
