Migration / Stability

The freedom of moving to new places versus the comfort of home.

The Neighbors

Likewise, each neighborhood in America has its own culture – some more unique than others – based on lifestyle, occupations, the types of households – and importantly – on the ethnicities and ancestries of the people who live in the neighborhood.
