Black: Downtown - Condos, apartments, nightlife, gay scene

Lavender: Marmalade District - Older houses, currently gentrifying, many gay households but not exclusively a gay hood

Green: West Side - Working class, higher crime but mostly property crime, Hispanic, Vietnemese and Chinese owned businesses

Pink: Avenues, University and Federal Heights - trendy, expensive, fewer businesses and strong zoning laws, Million dollar homes can be located adjacent to run down apartments

Red: Sugarhouse - Bars, restaurants, affordable apartments, large park, great place to be a single adult

Grey: Holladay and Cottonwood Heights - Rich, less LDS than other rich areas, close to ski resorts

Light Blue: Jeremy Ranch, Parley's Summit, Kimball Junction - This is where you live if you want a Park City address and a Salt Lake City job, it's pricy but there are some apartments and condos that are reasonable

White: Park City - This is the resort town, very expensive, parking is a huge issue, you can't commute to Salt Lake

Yellow: South Valley - Conservative, residential, big box stores, LDS, with the exception of Midvale which is hispanic

Dark blue: Tooele and Grantsville - Conservative, larger lots of land, can commute to Salt Lake and have a semi-rural environment

I think my West Valley box extends a little too far east. The area inbetween the pink and red is a mix between the two.

Don't forget Stansbury Park in the Tooele neighborhood. It is closer to SL than Tooele itself or Grantsville.

I think you need to be a little more specific on this one, maybe separating Federal Heights and the Upper Avenues from the other two areas. I don't see either of those two places as being anything but expensive (and maybe kind of snobby).

If I knew how you made your map, I'd do one of my own. I'd make a few changes, but overall, I think you did a good job.

I just did a screen shot (a button on the left side of your function keys) then pasted it in MS Paint. Then I boxed out what I wanted and clicked crop. Then I drew on it. Then I saved and uploaded it to Photo bucket.

The upper avs and Federal Heights are very rich, There's a mix of incomes in all the areas really. I was just kinda fleshing out the main points and more the "feel" of the areas.

I understand. I just think that the "feel" of the Lower Avenues/University is completely different from the Upper Avenues/Federal Heights.

This is the link to the city's official web site of the community councils: Welcome to Salt Lake City - The Official City Government Website (http://www.slcgov.com/citizen/comm_councils/councils.htm - broken link). If the council has a web iste, you can click on it from the name. The community councils have a lot of power here over zoning and re-zoning, everything that happens. They meet monthly and anyone can attend and bring up any matter. What the council does about it is their choice but mine is responsive to citizen complaints. Here for example is the map of Sugar House from the council's web site: http://www.sugarhousecouncil.com/index.php/map
