Mate of mine's got this off the ground

Helping House Buyers and Renters Check the Latest Information on Their Local Area - StreetCheck.co.uk

Looks really nice and gives interesting demographic information. Wonder how Wandsworth measures up?

There's no gays in my village (apparently!)

Is there a way to determine average income levels per postcode?
Is that record checker app advertised at the bottom legit?

How accurate is it. For 1 postcode I know well with 30 houses it lists 418 people living there.

I doubt the actual number is 100....

That explains it. It also means that its totally worthless as a street may bear no resemblance to the surrounding area which is true of the example I picked.....

Does that make it worthless? Mine looks pretty much what I'd expect.
If you're thinking of moving to an area, then some of the demographics would be of interest - e.g. likely facilities for kids / old people, employment stats etc. If you're thinking of moving to a gated community executive home in the middle of a tuliphole, then I guess that stats might not reflect your immediate neighbours, but still of interest.

in which case it misses a pile of data that would be useful (crime rates...).. The strange bit is that it gives me less information in a longer winded format than acorn gives me its 1 of 17 categories. It shows a little bit of potential but still doesn't match the information upmystreet provided before Zoopla bought and destroyed it.
