Next - Psychographic Market Segmentation Analysis

Utilizing our predictive maps, PAP partnered with Acxiom, a consumer data expert, to help identify the dominant market segments in Little Rock by risk location.

The psychographic characteristics of these market segments will be utilized for:

  • Optimizing community engagement
  • Developing targeted prevention messaging
  • Resource and infrastructure allocation
  • Marketing of prevention opportunities

THE ANALYTIC APPROACH FOR LITTLE ROCK’S PSYCHOGRAPHIC MARKET SEGMENTATION

1 PREDICT-ALIGN-PREVENT PROVIDED SHAPE FILES OF THE LITTLE ROCK AREA WITH DESIGNATED GEO BOUNDARIES MEASURING 500 SQUARE FEET

2 APPENDED FILE WITH INFOBASE® + PERSONICX® + AUDIENCE PROPENSITIES® MODELS SELECTED TO SUPPORT PAP PROGRAM METHODOLOGY

3 PREDICT-ALIGN-PREVENT’S PRIOR ANALYSIS ASSIGNED CHILD MALTREATMENT RISK CATEGORIES (1=LOWEST RISK, 5=HIGHEST RISK)

4 FOR EACH CELL, DEMOGRAPHICS, LIFESTYLE, AND COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO HELP DELIVER THE PROGRAM’S INTENDED OUTCOMES

5 THE RESULTS CAN BE USED TO INFORM A CAMPAIGN MESSAGING STRATEGY FOCUSED ON THE PREVENTION OF CHILD MALTREATMENT

Key Insights

of our Psychographic Segmentation

At this level of granularity, the psychographic segmentation data is more reliable than census data and challenges assumptions that are commonly made with the use of census data alone

The relationship of poverty to spatial child maltreatment risk was evaluated in two ways, first via census poverty data extrapolated from the census block to the grid cell, and second, using psychographic data to define population demographics by grid cell.

Using census data, there was a weak correlation between child maltreatment risk and poverty.

The figure below illustrates the relationship between poverty rate and predicted maltreatment count. The scatter plot demonstrates that the correlation between poverty and predictive risk is marginal.

With psychographic data, the main differentiator for the highest risk category was extreme poverty.

These findings suggest that at a unit of analysis smaller than a census block, census derived poverty data does not accurately describe the relationship of poverty to spatial child maltreatment risk.

To improve spatial targeting of scarce prevention resources and basic needs supports, further research is indicated to identify the most accurate data sources at a unit of analysis smaller than a census block.

Our analysis provides insight into family dynamics impacting child maltreatment

Risk category 5 over indexes on single mothers living in severe poverty with less than average interest in parenting. The hypothesis is that child fatality occurring in those areas are more likely to be attributable to neglectful supervision.

On the other hand, in risk category 4 where a male adult is more likely to be present in the household, the hypothesis is that more fatalities will be due to violence. If this is the case, the strategy for prevention would need to be approached differently for each location.

Psychographic segmentation data highlights what types of media high-risk households in Little Rock are consuming

It appears that current Little Rock prevention campaigns are not aligned to the correct media channels for achieving the greatest impact or reach.
