# Demographic City Maps Hoodmaps Sorts Neighborhood Based on the Types of People Seen in Them By Joey Haar | Published 2017-07-18 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoodmaps References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/875863/where-are-the-hipsters-in-your-city-these-crowdsourced-maps-will-show-you) & [hoodmaps](https://hoodmaps.com/?frontpage=true&ask_gps=true) Every city has its own cultural flavor, and Hoodmaps is a site dedicated to depicting that [unique mix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humbo). The site organizes cities based on six common urban demographics, giving users a shorthand reference for the makeup of every city that's included based on its geography. Hoodmaps' [city maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allinmap) are divided into six categories: Uni, Hipsters, Tourists, Rich, Suits, and Normies. Each of these categories, which the site believes to sort the people in a city, is assigned a different color. Hoodmaps then crowdsources the work of sorting through the [different neighborhoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citieslove), allowing locals to input where they see different people and color-coding the maps in kind. Beyond the basic demographic categorizations, Hoodmaps lets users input added text that can be tagged to different areas, noting things like "Chinatown," "Post-Hipster," "Post-Post-Hispter," or "Loud." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Regional](https://www.trendhunter.com/regional) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Demographic City Mapping:** Technology can enable more accurate mapping of neighborhood demographics, providing opportunities for targeted marketing and community building initiatives. - **Crowdsourced Urban Data Collection:** Crowdsourcing urban demographic data creates opportunities for more accurate and up-to-date city planning, real estate development, and prioritization of public services. - **Hyperlocal Cultural Insights:** Access to hyperlocal cultural insights can enable businesses, event planners, and community organizations to tailor their offerings and messaging to specific neighborhood demographics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Market Research:** Market research firms can adopt demographic city mapping to provide clients with more detailed information about consumer behaviors across different neighborhoods. - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers and agents can leverage demographic city mapping to identify up-and-coming areas, forecast property values, and target their marketing to specific neighborhoods. - **Local Government:** Local governments can use crowdsourced demographic data to better understand and serve their constituents, from improving public transportation to allocating funding for neighborhood services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [In-Neighbourhood Service Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trot-kit.md) - [Interactive Parisian Neighbourhood Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notezparis.md) - [Social City Exploration Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geometrik-app.md) - [Cultural Dining Discovery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/authfoodmaps.md) - [City Navigation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-path.md) - [Nightlife Insight Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/up-2-tonight.md) - [Community-Driven Public Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-face-local-updates.md) - [Paranormal Mapping Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-town1.md) - [Informational Real Estate Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-oyssey-app.md)
