Residents of this segment reside in suburban neighborhoods within the largest metropolitan areas. Nearly half of householders are between the ages of 45 and 64, and households are primarily married couples with or without children living at home. Many families send their children to private K-12 schools. Approximately three-quarters of residents hold undergraduate or graduate degrees, and they typically hold positions as executives, professionals, or business owners. A growing number of workers in this segment work from home. This segment has the highest net worth among all segments. Neighborhoods are almost exclusively composed of single-family homes.
