Mobile Neighborhood Research App for People Relocating to a New City
People moving to a new city need to compare neighborhoods across walkability, crime, school quality, cost of living, and transit access, but this data is scattered across a dozen websites. AreaVibes, Walk Score, GreatSchools, and crime maps all exist as separate tools. CityVibeCheck is the only app attempting to consolidate this into one mobile experience but is AI-only with limited real data. No mobile-native app lets you compare 3-4 neighborhoods side by side with real data across all dimensions.
The data aggregation is the value, not the UX. Walk Score, GreatSchools, FBI crime data, Census cost-of-living data are all accessible via APIs or public datasets. The MVP is literally a search bar where you type two ZIP codes and get a side-by-side scorecard. Real estate agents are a distribution channel since they send these comparisons to clients manually today.

Neighborhood research data exists across many excellent sources but nobody has unified it into a consumer-friendly mobile app. People relocating cobble together 5+ websites. The opportunity is a mobile-first comparison tool that pulls from public data APIs and presents side-by-side neighborhood scorecards.
