"In their funky rowhouses and apartments, Bohemian Mixers are the early adopters who are quick to check out the latest movie, nightclub, laptop and microbrew. "
Another candidate for the country's poorest county-- Buffalo County, SD-- gets us to this result for its largest city, Fort Thompson (57339):
Bedrock America consists of young, economically challenged families in small, isolated towns located throughout the nation's heartland. With modest educations, sprawling families and blue-collar jobs, many of these residents struggle to make ends meet. One quarter live in mobile homes. One in three haven't finished high school. Rich in scenery, Bedrock America is a haven for fishing, hunting, hiking and camping.
And this is the only category.
Sounds grim, but thank God-- there are some fun recreational activities in Bedrock America:
Doesn't it give you five choices for each zip? Who did you decide you weren't?
No pool? No b-ball? Whatever do you do with yourself?

No matter what segmentation used, my zip code returns synonyms for "insufferable prick." for example:
05 High Asset Suburban Boomers
16 Affluent Renters
10 Young Savvy Elites
02 Affluent Retired
08 Metro Elite Boomers
31 Urban Achievers
16 Bohemian Mix
07 Money & Brains
04 Young Digerati
29 American Dreams
I despise myself!
(Although, "American Dreams" is a saving grace...)

At least I'm keeping it real
47 City Startups
53 Mobility Blues
60 Park Bench Seniors
44 New Beginnings
35 Boomtown Singles
My (neighbor)hood is actually a lot more interesting than this suggests

"They excel in going to movies"? This is a skill upon which one can improve? Demand excellence. Demand it.
Mine:
44 New Beginnings
22 Young Influentials
19 Home Sweet Home
23 Greenbelt Sports
08 Executive Suites
.00001 Smug Smartass
Guess they pegged me.

Notice how affirming these labels try to be. I plugged in the zip from the poorest county in the country, and these are the results.
48 Young & Rustic
57 Old Milltowns
58 Back Country Folks
56 Crossroads Villagers
55 Golden Ponds
Can't wait to move.

Ha. You don't want to know.

Off-topic, but I digress because I know you care, Fontana.
The giant shrimp is on.
