Where does everyone live?

[Shepard]

I'm curious to take a quick demographic pulse...

I currently have the misfortune of residing in Malden. :C

For the purpose of the poll I picked:

Out of town - Inner urban core

but I think I should have picked:

Boston - Outer urban core (dense nearby neighborhoods, towns and cities)

Iam confused like Statler^^^.Im confused if I live in the inside core because it isn't major employment center unless u mean art gallery and restaurants, maybe antique shop.( I have summer job washing dishes. But NOT big money so not what some posters would call MAJOR.)) Not major but inside outer area but outside innermost area. Do u have INNER TUBE!!! (LOL)
So how would you put the South End? I know Mr. Ned F and Mr j. Keith will want to know, so I ask this question for them too.

I'd definitely call the South End the inner urban core.

I voted for outer urban core, as I'm at the edge of the city of Boston -- Oak Square, Brighton. Newton is a 5-10 minute walk away, and my area feels more like Newton than it does a part of a lively city.

Yea, it's a bit of an arbitrary distinction but I wanted to try to see what types of neighborhoods people are coming from.

In "inner urban core" I'd consider anything within easy walking distance of major employment centers, so not just downtown and Back Bay but also West End, North End, South End, Beacon Hill, Seaport, even possibly Fenway.

"Outer urban core" would be the urban neighborhoods, cities and towns further out - large parts of Southie, Dorchester, Mission Hill, north Brookline, Allston-Brighton, south, north and east Cambridge, Somerville, Charlestown, Eastie, parts of Everett, Chelsea, Malden, etc...

I doubt everyone would agree with that classification, but I thought it's useful to see what 'types" of neighborhoods people are coming from in terms of level of urbanity.

I voted outer urban core but i definitely voted wrong as i live in west roxbury. lol.

Hope to be moving to the allston/brighton/brookline area in october though.
