How this service works
Census housing-stock context for an area. Perfect for: 'housing stock for an area', 'how old are the homes / median year built', 'owner vs renter share', 'housing units and vacancy for a place'. Returns cited ACS housing-stock characteristics (units, age, tenure, vacancy) for the resolved county/area. National. Area-level context, not a parcel record. Charge-free when the housing-stock lookup fails.
Output
A JSON object containing a scan ID, generated timestamp, a list of records from local parcel data and risk signals, and any caveats about the data — covering factors that may affect the property's permitted use, costs, development plans, or future value.
Example use cases
Pre-offer property due diligence check
“I'm about to make an offer on a house in Austin. Can you scan the property records and tell me if there are any zoning restrictions, environmental risks, or other red flags I should know about before I commit?”
Investment portfolio risk assessment
“I'm looking at a few rental properties across different neighborhoods. Can you run property scans on each address and flag anything in the local records or parcel data that might affect their future value or rental potential?”
Development feasibility screening
“We're considering buying land in a residential area for a small commercial project. Can you scan this parcel for zoning rules, use restrictions, and any risk signals that might impact what we can actually build there?”
