This is a little website i was shown in College. You type your post code in and it tells you all the info about your area.
The Link of the site here (http://www.upmystreet.com/enter-location/local/l/)
Here's mine:
Family income: High
Interest in current affairs: Low
Housing - with mortgage: Medium
Educated - to degree: High
Couples with children: Very high
Have satellite TV: Very high
These are neighbourhoods of young well-off commuter families, with many pre-school and primary school children.
These families often live in relatively large detached houses and have a long time left on their mortgage. However they have good incomes, and feel able to afford such long term commitments. These individuals are likely to be in their 30s, and tend to be professionals and managers with company pensions and company health care. They drive to work in company cars.
These families are financially aware. Where possible they will have regular savings plans and invest in stocks and shares. A child savings plan may cater for the children’s future. The high level of remortaging may indicate confidence in their ability to repay high levels of borrowing. They have credit cards with high credit limits, but their spending is not high.
The Internet is a popular channel for financial services, with e-banking fairly common with these households. On-line activity is generally high whether shopping, booking leisure activity, playing games or the children’s education.
These are young active people, taking part in aerobics, playing golf, rugby and going skiing. For entertainment they own a DVD player, subscribe to satellite TV and go to the cinema.
