One thing noticeable about Tustin, although not a huge city, is that it has a large population of people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters. That's because Tustin is full of single people in their 20s and 30s and who have undergraduate or graduate degrees and are starting careers in professional occupations.

In addition to being popular with young singles, Tustin is also home to many people who can be described as "urban sophisticates." While both of these categories describe educated professionals, urban sophisticates are quite a different demographic. Urban sophisticates are people who are both educated and wealthy, and thus tend to be older, richer, and more established than young professionals. "Urban sophisticates" is not just about being educated and well-off financially: it is a point of view and state of mind, one that you might call 'urbaneness.' But such people can and do regularly live in small towns, suburbs and rural areas, as well as in big cities. They read, support the arts and high-end shops, and love travel.

Tustin is a decent-sized city, yet no one gets to work using public transit, because the city has no real transit system.
