About Find a Hood
Find a Hood is a new project that reverse engineers statistics about neighbourhoods to find locations that suit you best.
Beta
Find a Hood is currently in "Beta", which means it is not the complete package just yet and is still very much a work in progress. Until the site is ready you are free to use it as much as you like and tell you friends about it.
Upcoming improvements include:
- Data, data, data! More data sets are being pursued so you can find locations to suit your needs even better
- Commenting on locations so you can have your own input
- Find a Hood will be expanding out of London!
Feedback
As a user your feedback is very much appreciated. Please feel free to contact feedback@findahood.com or tweet @findahood if you would like to suggest improvements or just share your thoughts about the site. Look forward to hearing from you.
Data
The data is gathered from official and governmentally recognised sources. This data is analysed to pin point the information of interest to people planning on moving to a new area.
The data is then parsed into a useful format where a series of weightings and fuzzy logic are applied so it can be used most effectively when you are searching Find a Hood's database of neighbourhoods and their statistics.
The data is not live or up to the minute so, while every effort is made to ensure the data is of the high standard necessary for such detailed and accurate neighbourhood comparison, the statistics displayed on Find a Hood should be used for comparison only and not for reporting current statistics.
