If you are based in the UK, there is https://xploria.co.uk. Click/tap on any location on the map and you get a lot of information about the place, inclusive of generations, what percentage of families, singles, etc, schools within travel timw, and so on. Disclosure: I built this web app.

This is very cool - I haven't seen anything like it before. I've spent about half an hour noseying at places I've lived or considered living, fascinating. The view of changing house prices is something that I haven't seen presented in this way either.

Thanks for building it and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words! The prototype was launched in 2013, you'd think the world would have caught up since :D. The platform underneath allows far more advanced functionality, so stick around, there will be many more usable (and useful) features in the near term.
Is this based on census data?
Yes, although not yet updated to the one of 2021 (2022 in Scotland).

The main page has references to all data sources.
