Demographic Analysis
Demographic Sources
There are two resources looked at in this report. The first is Clarita's You Are Where You Live.
""You Are Where You Live" is based on a "neighborhood lifestyle segmentation" system called PRIZM NE from Claritas Inc. a market research firm headquartered in San Diego, CA.

Census information is obtained every four years; however the information is as accurate as can be obtained as long as the individuals providing the information are honest. The demographic area identified is Orcutt, California zip code 93455. Clarita's information has proven to be very generalized and groups like types of communities to similar wants and desires, because according to Claritas, the heart of the PRIZM system is the adage "birds of a feather, flock together."

Another surprising factor was the housing characteristics showed the median house at $184,000. I understand this information is 5 years old, but...
