Look into whether chain stores, which do a lot of demographic research, are opening up or moving out.  

I am not marketing specifically to that demographic, but they seem to find me and work out well.  

I speculate in neighborhoods based on infrastructure projects and changes in demographics but changes are often times unsteady and I know that if I pick 10 different areas to buy in, some will do better or worse than I expected.  

Hello BP Community,I am interested in getting in to the house flipping industry. I know I have a lot of research and education ahead of me but I am interested to get some expert opinions on where I should start lookin...

I've learned a lot more about the history of the building, figured out which tenants' leases I want to renew and I've gotten some real time feedback from the demographic that my tenant pool is coming from. 

The better part of the prospective tenant demographic usually prefer SFR's. 

NO personal income taxes.Over the long term the southern states have been gaining population, and Texas has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of low taxes and reasonable regulation.I do think those demographics of additional population continue over time should mean over the next 10-20 years that property values continue to go up.  

The last thing you have to be aware of is the demographic age of the area.

Fairly blue collar area with great access to transportation outlets.While Toyota is coming in, doubtful this property will benefit much from that expansion in my opinion.Very surprised that average HH income in a one mile radius is $92k, Carrollton in generally not known for resounding demographic data, although the area has nice places.

I would also add that it depends on the area, demographic, and demand.
