Residential
City Strivers residents live in densely populated, settled
neighborhoods of major metropolitan areas, especially in
New York City & Chicago. The median home value is $261,271.
Nearly two-thirds of the households are located in the
Northeast, with smaller concentrations in other regions of the
United States. Approximately two-thirds of the households
rent apartments in older, multiunit buildings built before
1960. Small buildings with two to four units are more
common in these neighborhoods. Because of their urban
surroundings, many residents rely on public transportation;
two in five households do not own a vehicle.

Preferences
The rental homes in these neighborhoods are moderately equipped with the
essentials. The high cost of living and rent lowers discretionary income.
Many residents carry renter’s insurance. They shop at wholesale clubs for
most of their groceries, baby products, and children’s essentials. They
prefer accessible grocery stores such as Pathmark and Stop N Shop. A
multitude of department and clothing stores is nearby. They eat fast-food at
White Castle, Popeyes, Checkers, and Dunkin’ Donuts.

Favorite stations include BET and cable movie channels such as Showtime,
Cinemax, the Movie Channel, and Encore. They watch a lot of TV such as
courtroom shows, talk shows, comedies, sci-fi, boxing, and prof.
wrestling. They read music & bridal magazines and listen to urban, all-
news, jazz, and variety radio. They attend prof. football & basketball
games, go to the movies, take trips to Atlantic City, and visit theme parks
such as Six Flags. They also play tennis and basketball.
