title: You Are Where You Live
---

[You Are Where You Live](http://yawyl.claritas.com/) shows off the power of gathering demographics. Type in your zip code and get told what kind of people live there. Where I grew up: "[Shotguns & Pickups](http://yawyl.claritas.com/clusterlookup.asp?cluster=44&zipcode=63060)" and "[Back Country Folks](http://yawyl.claritas.com/clusterlookup.asp?cluster=60&zipcode=63060)". Yeah, that's true. Where I live now: "[Towns & Gowns](http://yawyl.claritas.com/clusterlookup.asp?cluster=36&zipcode=30606)" and "[Southside City](http://yawyl.claritas.com/clusterlookup.asp?cluster=51&zipcode=30606)". If you're a travelling salesman, [you gotta know the territory](http://www.endresnet.com/mmsounds.html), and this'll get you almost all of the way there.
