What is your duty station ZIP code? Do you think this archetype accurately describes service members?

ESRI has created a ZIP code look-up tool that categorizes group of people living in a certain zip code.

Think it does a good job describing the average service member?

It timed out twice on me with no results. I assume that means I'm a secret agent.

I tried it and it said that I am 2 years older than the average person and I make about the same amount of money. Seems legit.

SFC Kendrick sparked another thought.

Reservists and Guardsmen...do you think the description of your home of record ZIP code is fitting?

For my current location it said "not found" - which sounds about right for Americans and Afghanistan.

For my home I am older, with a higher income than the medians for those two categories. I do not fit the description of any of the "Tapestry" groups. None of that means it's inaccurate - given the nature of my zip code, I am older and wealthier than most of the residents. I am also not a renter, but many are.
