[February 06, 2006] Online Real Estate Search Company Announces Zip Code Demographic and Crime Reports; New Feature Integrated with iGenHome's Bay Area Home Search Site Tweet PALO ALTO, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Feb. 6, 2006 -- iGenHome, the spot on the internet to find a home in Santa Clara or San Mateo County, California, today announced the availability of a new Neighborhood feature that generates wide-ranging demographic and crime statistics reports about the zip code surrounding a home for sale. Now, when a home buyer using www.igenhome.com wants to know more about the neighborhood surrounding a specific house, iGenHome's Neighborhood feature generates an intuitive graphical report for the house's zip code. iGenHome's Neighborhood report includes a description of the town and a variety of graphs that show distributions of ethnic and national backgrounds, income levels, education levels, ages, household characteristics, crime statistics and other data compiled from the most recent US Census and FBI crime statistics. Henry Shao, CEO of iGenHome said: "Home buyers want to know many things about the neighborhood around a house. Until now, finding basic information regarding the population surrounding a home has required visiting multiple websites or even knocking on doors and talking to neighbors. Our new Neighborhood feature makes it easy to quickly get a sense of the neighborhood and to compare different neighborhoods." The company expects home buyers to make use of the new Neighborhood feature early in the home search process when many areas are under consideration. For example, a newly married couple expecting children may be interested in finding homes in neighborhoods with a high density of children and households with only one working adult. With iGenHome's new Neighborhood tools, it is quick work to find likely zip codes that meet their requirements. Even if you're not a home buyer, the iGenHome Neighborhoods tool is fun to use.
