Kick-Back Country
Rural, middle-aged upscale families and couples

Doesn't really work for small towns. For example, my parents own a 4200 sq ft house in Lake Cowichan with 1.2 acres of property on waterfront with a 3-car garage that is worth around $900k-$1M but, because the entire town has the same area code ...

Just Getting By
Younger, low-income city singles and families
