I live in a Boom Town...

Quote
The kinds of places where cranes and backhoes are a common sight, these 160 counties are growing, changing, and diversifying. Their 38.5 million residents are, on the whole, thriving economically.

These are relatively affluent communities that many professionals call home. But they are also experiencing some growth at the other end of the income spectrum as their minority populations grow, in part to fill construction jobs. They are nearly 10 percent Hispanic, well above the national country average of 7.5 percent. They gave their vote to President Bush in 2004, but very slightly. They will be a battleground in 2008.

My last home (Raleigh, NC) is a Monied 'Burb...

Quote
The Monied 'Burbs consist of 304 counties holding more than 84 million people, making them the largest and the wealthiest locales in Patchwork Nation.

Wealthier and slightly younger than America as a whole, this group also stands out for its educational attainment. More than one-quarter of the adults in these communities have college degrees, compared with 17 percent in the average U.S. county. The Monied 'Burbs were an uber "battleground" group in 2004. They split their votes almost evenly between President Bush (49.4 percent) and John Kerry (49.6 percent) and figure to be crucial in 2008 as well.

Your zip code puts you in xxx NC, which we've identified as Immigration Nation community type.

Based on your responses, you have a 64 % match with other people in your community type.

I'm in between 2 mid sized cities; one is in another county.  Both have a high influx of "immigrants".  No surprise here.  :p

Considering I live in a state which is 96 percent white, I'm not exactly concerned with being overrun by illegals.

Unless it was those damned Canadian day-laborers outside Home Depot...

Yah--all the Massholes commuting to Boston or up to the lake for the weekend.  Aside from that, lots of middle class folks, and certainly not "monied" at that.

Yep, that it is. :) 

Although, the last few days haven't been fun here, getting bitch-slapped with those storms.  The wind today nearly knocked me over while I was walking back from the laundry room.  :(

Greetings from tractor country.


my husband envies you :-) he'd love a tractor or a post hole digger in our backyard.

interestingly, we are an immigration center and evangelical area.... which is kinda odd for the west coast.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

we have things down here called "tractor pulls".  they involve mud, really big ass trucks, beer, and chicks in tube tops. 

a deadly combination, all things considered.

Yeah, but I figured it could be drummed out of you by now.

You can't live that close to canada for that long without it doing some sort of damage.

I am, according to this site, in Campus & Careers county. I'd say its more of a hybrid between a "Tractor county" and a Campus & Careers County.
