What exactly is a "good demographic"? This sounds an awful lot like judging people based on their inherent characteristics.

Let's be realistic, given two towns, one whose median age is 70 and the other filled with teenage boys sporting new licenses, one of them is going to need to invest more into policing resources than the other, ceteris paribus.

I wouldn't extend that to calling teenage boys "bad." But we did come with higher negative externalities to our communities, particularly when behind a car, than other demos.
