Audience Analysis: Chicago Architecture Foundation

Serving the “public” is a large and oversimplified statement. This sample resource examines in close detail the largest audience segments comprising the Chicago Architecture Foundation's (CAF) total audience.

The second page then plots these audience segments against the patrons that enjoyed CAF programs in 2012.
