Tapestry GIS

On Thursday May 4th, ESRI will visit and share the Tapestry Data. Drop in to learn more about valuable demographic data for a variety of educational and admininstrative purposes

What is Tapestry Data? The Community Tapestry segmentation system provides an accurate, detailed description of America’s neighborhoods. U.S. residential areas are divided into 65 segments based on demographic variables such as age, income, home value, occupation, household type, education, and other consumer behavior characteristics.
