This is basically correct in my view as far as the US: Target here is basically the "upscale Walmart": people who want to avoid the "people of Walmart" go to Target instead. Things might be very slightly more expensive, and there might not be quite as much selection, but the clientele is definitely very different any place where the two stores are close to each other. It's really rather remarkable. Also, Target stores here usually seem to be cleaner and neater, whereas Walmart stores frequently seem to be dirtier and the shelves look at bit ransacked and picked-over. However, this does vary a lot by location. When I lived in northern New Jersey, the Walmarts there were a horror show: nasty floors, shelves looking like people just went through shopping in preparation for a hurricane, etc., whereas the Targets were nice. The customers at the Walmarts also seemed to be all poorer minorities, black and hispanic (I'm white), whereas Target was full of white and middle-class-looking black people. However in some more rural locations in the South, the Walmarts I've seen were clean and neat (but there were no Targets around).
