Why Use Socioeconomic Status
and Family Orientation
The two most powerful drivers of why different types of people choose to live in particular places are Family Orientation and Socioeconomic Status:
Family Orientation discriminates between family areas where there are kids, mortgages and large houses and non-family areas where young and older independent singles & couples choose to live. Family Orientation taps into lifecycle stage which is a key driver of needs across most categories.
Socioeconomic Status (SES) represents the combined effect of educational attainment, occupational status and income and is a key driver of the spending power and quality of purchases made by people to meet their needs. SES drives the price/quality trade-off that is often the most critical factor in brand positioning.
While psychographics influence consumer behaviour at the individual level, they tend to be overpowered in geospatial data by more powerful factors like spending power, cultural influences and established household expenditure patterns, which are all integral to the geoSmart Scheme's construction.

Cultural Diversity and
the Aging Population
We are currently witnessing a dramatic shift in the multicultural character of Australian consumers.
Most recently, migrants from North & South Asia have had a substantial impact on the character of areas across the country, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne but also to a lesser extent across metropolitan Australia.
Recent migrants from a diversity of multicultural backgrounds tend to be younger, while much of the growing boomer and retiree population is Caucasian. Thus cultural diversity and lifecycle changes are intertwined as factors in the new Australian marketplace.
geoSmart Segments are optimised to differentiate across the emerging multicultural landscape with 23 of the 55 geoSmart Segments having a distinctive multicultural flavour to their character.
