Is there anything like Zillow that shows demographics in a area?

Crime maps

Just look at the demographics of the school where the house is districted.

Pretty easy

Avoid cities
Avoid walmart located areas
Avoid dollar generals
Avoid foreign owned gas stations

Which, if in Southeast Louisiana, means you are screwed

Just drive in neighborhoods and look at the yards.

It will tell the tale itself.

For bigger cities/metros - google judgmental maps

What I've found to be extremely accurate is this method:
Look at the elementary schools in the area, and look at what percentage of the students are on free/reduced price lunches. The second measure is percentage of students that speak English at home or as a first language.

In Spring Branch (Houston), you can have a cluster of $2M homes with kids that go to an excellent public elementary, average car value $120k, etc. Reduced price lunch rate under 15%. Three blocks away, you have a neighborhood Walmart that rarely makes announcements in English, almost all Spanish. Reduced price lunch rate over 60%.

If you're too lazy to do that, just use Street View, and look at how many cars are in driveways or parked on the street in front of the house. Even in houses in richer neighborhoods, it's either an indicator of people with a bunch of kids (they'll have the stupid displays in their yard, "Conor is a senior!!!") or, more likely, a multi generational family that is struggling to afford the mortgage and taxes.
