St. Louis neighborhoods are a diverse marketplace. There are many submarkets of people who make the city their residential destination of choice.
Given the diverse nature of city residents, what would you say are the leading household submarkets choosing city living?
Here's a start-
Empty nesters choosing downtown lofts
First time homebuyers seeking affordable housing
Bosnians moving into Little Bosna
Middle class African Americans wanting to move back to their old city neighborhoods
Catholic families with kids
Gays
There are lots more. What do you think?

Middle Class African Americans wanting to move back to their old neighborhoods-but in a new house.
Somalians rehabbing in Dutchtown.
South Grandenistas/KDHX hipsters
White, Metropolis Southamptoners
Religious, social justice seeking, whites moving to north city.
The working poor.
Central West End sophisticates
City democratic machine huggers
If I'm truly working class, own an auto, and don't need any social services, I'd likely be better off in the County, where I'd be closer to jobs, get more square footage for my money, and have better public schools for my children. And hence, this is why the City continues down the path as a place of haves (childless or affluent households) and have-nots (low-wage earners and unemployed).
