Personally, I've been investing more than 50 years and never looked at the demographics for a neighborhood one time because I always felt that you need more personal knowledge about the neighborhood e.g. whether it is blue-collar working people, whether it infested with gangbangers, what the ability to increase rents is, etc. and the only way to get a good feeling and understanding is to personally visit the neighborhoods in the daytime, evenings and on weekends because weekends and nighttime is when the bad people come out like cockroaches.

Hope AirBNB will not so obviously treat different people different on cancellation, especially race is one fact!
