Mosaic Portrait - Experian Consumer Information Portal (experianmarketingservices.digital)

Over 150 different segments. Apparently I live in a budget generation area.
So many to choose from.
They then sell this data to marketing companies to do what they want with it.

I've looked at mine, my parents and I'm laws. I'd say mine was ok for my neighbours but not me, same for my parents but in laws are fairly accurate.

I just tried again and got down to earth home owners 😆
We are not aging …

Scattered homesteads. Pretty accurate!

Affordable Fringe. About half right and half mince.

Same here. Not many cafes near actually.

Mid Career Convention. Professional couples with children apparently. 20 years ago maybe.

Uptown Elite probably not far off

Metro high flyers, 20 and 30 somethings renting expensive apartments in highly commutable areas of major cities.

Nowhere near my age group and nothing like my area apart from the highly commutable bit, which would be true of large parts of most cities.

Modern Parents
Pretty accurate for the area but I’m not even in a couple so buck the trends

I got Alpha Families! But bizarrely the (identical) opposite side of the road is Diamond Days. I guess the AFs turn into DDs when they retire.

i got “families on a budget” sounds perfectly accurate.

also likely to have a pet rabbit 🤣

Wealthy Landowners

My arse…🤣

Modern Parents, it’s pretty accurate for us, apart from the rabbit.

Bungalow Heaven.

Pretty accurate (mostly dormas though) although we're young in our 50s.
Broadband is definitely shit.

It doesn’t like lower case letters.

City Diversity
Households renting social flats in busy city suburbs whore many nationalties live as neighbours

Based in SW London and living in a council block. I’d say this is about right🤣

We got City Diversity which isn't quite right (but we live next to a big council estate and I think it thinks we live in it).

However, I did chuckle because this is indeed exactly what my dh looks like, I think he was even wearing this outfit today

Wealthy Landowner - pretty accurate especially with ages and shopping habits etc. I guess owing the land is wealth in itself but it doesn't show how mortgaged it is! What made me smile though is we share a postcode with some new build affordable housing with tiny gardens down the road so it shows how postcodes can be pretty variable.

Uptown Elite. Pretty accurate except for the five holidays a year (who does that?) and the five bed house - more like a three bed terrace!

I am guessing families with young children concerned about being in the right school catchment.

Browsing through the options I think we're more Cafes and Catchments in terms of the size of our house and preferred supermarkets etc

‘Please enter a valid postcode’
😂
I don’t think it wants to acknowledge us.

Ha, 'Penthouse Chic', which sounds like some kind of glitzy reality show. But I'll take it!

Me too and quite accurate, tho some young blood has moved in recently 😂

That was entertaining.

Our current house - wrong for us, and few descriptors fit our neighbours.
Our last house (valued when we moved 20 ago (and also now) at half that of our current house) - wrong, but quite accurate for us now.
DS’s house - some parts correct, but I don’t know much about their neighbours
DD1’s house - mostly wrong, don’t know about their neighbours.
DD2’s house - described as mortgaged detached, when it’s two facing rows of terraced houses, at least some of which are LA rented.

I’ve also put in the postcode of our local private school, not in London. There are no houses in that postcode. It says “World class wealth, global high flyers living luxurious lifestyles in London’s most exclusive boroughs.”

Edit: on reflection, there are houses in the school as it’s a boarding school. The students live in houses (of up to ?60 students) and the staff have houses or flats attached to or within that accommodation. Not luxurious ones, though. 😉
