Questions

What buyers ask us

How is this different from Zillow or Google?
Zillow shows price history. Google shows reviews. NeighborhoodIQ tells you whether a specific address is a fit — synthesizing schools, safety, environment, and market into a verdict you can read in 10 minutes and share with your family.
Is the data specific to my address?
Yes. School assignments, crime mapping, walk scores, and environmental data are all pulled at the census tract or address level — not just the ZIP code or neighborhood name. Two blocks can tell very different stories.
How current is the information?
We pull from sources updated on a rolling basis — CMPD incident data, GreatSchools ratings, Zillow ZHVI, Walk Score. Each report reflects the most recent data available at time of preparation.
When do I need this by?
Order before your showing or before making an offer. Reports are delivered within 48 hours. Most buyers use it during due diligence — some order as soon as they see a listing they're serious about.
What data sources do you use?
CMPD incident records, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools data via GreatSchools, US Census ACS, Zillow ZHVI, Walk Score API, Google Places, Google Earth Engine (tree canopy, air quality, heat island), and FEMA flood zone data.
Is this Fair Housing compliant?
Yes. NeighborhoodIQ is a buyer tool, not an agent steering tool. We provide objective data — schools, safety trends, environmental conditions, price history. No protected class information is used to recommend or discourage any location.
