The legend defines these clusters by their dominant traits and general locations: Cluster 1 is 'friendly, conventional' and is found mainly in the center of the country. Cluster 2 is 'relaxed, creative' and is located primarily on the west side. Cluster 3 is 'temperamental, uninhibited' and occurs mainly in the Northeast and Texas.
