I hope someone can help me with this info.
Is there a way I can find info related to a neighborhood in fairfax county?
Like income level, ethnicity of the people living in the neighborhood. I prefer diversity. Or in general safety of the neighborhood?
Thanks very much in advance.

How about the site you are on? See:

Click on the community, then on the zip code.

The zip code approach gives you a rough idea, but some zip codes have so many people that you cant tell much about a given neighborhood. For ex, our zip is 22003. On paper the area looks very diverse; in reality, our neighborhood is almost exclusively white.

The only approach I can think of off the top of my head is to examine the demographic info for your local schools. These cover a smaller area than your zip code.

For Fairfax, you can find the info on the county school website. Or use www.greatschools.org.

P.S. Please be aware that federal law prohibits real estate folks from giving out this kind of info. You have to find it on your own.

There is a great website that the NY times put together that does this. It takes the latest census info and using google maps you can look at income etc. -

Mapping America ? Census Bureau 2005-9 American Community Survey - NYTimes.com

And then the following website is good for crime info as loong as Fairfax county is one of the police departments that give the info to the website -

I noticed that on redfin.com, you can drill down to the neighborhood the house is in, in addition to the zip. Not sure how accurate it is, as I have not moved to the area yet.
You click on zip demographics at the bottom of the house listing, and then click on neighborhoods at the bottom of the zip code demographic page the opens up.
