While nearly half have never married, another quarter is starting over as divorced or widowed individuals. Members of this group are predominantly white with an above-average presence of Asians.

Key Traits

Digital Media Behavior

This group use digital media often. Although they're unlikely to access the internet for e-commerce transactions - few have interest in online shopping, banking and booking travel plans - they do enjoy going to the Web for news and entertainment. They visit websites that offer auctions, gambling, celebrity news and New Age information. Many use the internet for utilitarian and relationship-building purposes, helping them locate a date, a used car or purchase movie tickets.
