Demographic fun from Zillow

Posted July 12, 2007 at 10:59 AM by CoolDMZ in Real Estate (10 comments)

I didn’t even think about the fun one could have with the Demographics features on that new Zillow thing until my wife pointed it out. This is how one can learn that Boulevard Park folks are more likely to be females working for non-profits, or speak Gujarati. Or that New Era Park is lesbian-friendly, or that Elmhurst is home to the Humble Class. Or that there is a neighborhood called Brentwood (it’s over near the Exec Airport) that has a freakishly flat age distribution and lots of Puerto Ricans who speak Hindi and Laotian. The possibilities are endless.

I spent about an hour scrolling through the demographics after your first post. Some are just full of great material the next time you need to make Sac small talk.

Umm… Is it just me, or do the top two characteristics under the “Education” demographic for the folks in my ‘hood (”Downtown”) seem a wee bit contradictory??

Drat, I guess putting brackets around the quotation didn’t work. Let’s try this again:

“In this neighborhood, a larger number of people have these characteristics than in surrounding neighborhoods:

Education
Bachelor’s degrees
Did not complete college”
