shift from the old Tapestry model to the new, it\u2019s important to recognize the benefits of the new system. Change can be challenging, but this article is here to help you transition smoothly, easily identify the new segments, and confidently use the new <a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/esri-demographics\/latest\/esri-demographics\/tapestry-segmentation.htm\">ArcGIS Tapestry<\/a> in your strategies. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<p>Each decade after the release of the latest Census, Esri rebuilds Tapestry from the ground up to capture a decade\u2019s worth of sociodemographic shifts. Esri develops ArcGIS Tapestry using a clustering model with demographic, economic and geographic characteristics as input variables. It is the interaction between dozens of inputs that determine the number and nature of Tapestry segments.<\/p>\n<p>Esri analyzes the characteristics of each segment after running the clustering algorithms and identifying a stable solution. To understand the sociodemographic profile of each segment, Esri combines thousands of data elements\u2014including consumer behavior and attitudes data. A comparison between the last and current iterations of Tapestry is made to redefine the segments into one of three categories:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Persistent Segments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Persistent segments in the new system have sociodemographic characteristics that are very similar to a segment from the previous system. Thirty-three of the sixty segments in ArcGIS Tapestry are persistent segments. However, as neighborhoods evolved, these segments can have quite different geographic footprints than their counterparts in the previous decade.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>New Segments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>New segments did not exist in the previous system. They arise from shifts in demographic and consumer trends, neighborhood aging, population turnover, or the development of new housing. New segments are also often accompanied by changes in diversity, income levels, and consumer behaviors. These changes result in neighborhoods with notable differences from the previous decades that are classified as new segments.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lost Segments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lost segments are segments from the previous system that no longer exist due to significant geodemographic changes. Neighborhoods previously identified in these segments have been either assigned to a new segment or aligned with one of the persistent segments.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"segment\"><strong>Segment transition example<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s explore <strong><em>Green Acres<\/em><\/strong> to illustrate the transition of segments from the old system to the new ArcGIS Tapestry.

If you previously identified your top three segments using methods like geocoded lists or polygon analysis, ensure you can replicate these steps in the new system.<\/p>\n<p>As you shift from old methods to new strategies, remember that this transition is more than just data input. As you learn and engage in this process, you will understand how ArcGIS Tapestry accurately reflects current population and lifestyle characteristics. Embrace this opportunity to enhance your approach and better connect with your audience.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2954699,"id":2954699,"title":"new-banner-image","filename":"new-banner-image.png","filesize":10711,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/new-banner-image.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/bus-analyst\/analytics\/out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new-transitioning-to-the-new-arcgis-tapestry\/new-banner-image","alt":"","author":"265302","description":"","caption":"","name":"new-banner-image","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2953946,"date":"2026-01-26 23:27:03","modified":"2026-01-26 23:27:03","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1304,"height":133,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/new-banner-image-213x133.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":133,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/new-banner-image.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":47,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/new-banner-image.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":78,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/new-banner-image.png","large-width":1304,"large-height":133,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/new-banner-image.png","1536x1536-width":1304,"1536x1536-height":133,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/new-banner-image.png","2048x2048-width":1304,"2048x2048-height":133,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/new-banner-image-826x84.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":84,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/new-banner-image.png","wide_image-width":1304,"wide_image-height":133}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h2 id=\"lev\"><strong>Leverage Esri\u2019s resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To support your <a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/esri-demographics\/latest\/esri-demographics\/tapestry-migration.htm\">migration<\/a>, Esri offers a comprehensive suite of <a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/esri-demographics\/latest\/esri-demographics\/tapestry-segmentation.htm\">resources<\/a> designed to help you explore the characteristics and nuances of your segments.
