Drive by at night. Observe the cars parked out on the street and people who are walking around. Look at school ratings. Go to the nearest grocery store. That will tell you quite a bit.

From my wife. Look at cars and how they're parked. Look at the yards. Are they maintained?
Also, go through neighborhood after a hard rain. Make sure it's draining and not holding water.

Street names. If you are by Martin Luther King or Jefferson/Washington...you fricked.
Look for streets named after trees. Usually a good sign.

Look for litter and pay attention to it.
No litter: Excellent
Camel/Marlboro cigarette butts: Working Class
Newport/Black and Mild butts: No-Go Zone

Is there any app that filters for neighborhoods with people who are similar to my profile? Would prefer those who likes to go to lakes, grill, not sell narcotics etc

No, those are woke and subjective. You have to drill down deeper to get the actual standardized test scores. before their wokeism is applied to the rating.

Proximity to New Orleans. The farther the better.

Correct. And if it’s near a prison it’s not a good area.
Ehhhh, Sugar Land has the Jester unit and its one of the better suburbs of Houston.

Look next to the driveways... if there are signs cars are parked in the grass often, it's starting to get rough.

There is a Home Depot on the north side of Lafayette. I dare you to go live there.

Check to see if cars are parked on the street, or in peoples garages.
School ratings is also a good indicator

Drive through it in the evening or Saturday morning. Full of cars parked on the street or 3-4 cars in drive, older cars, unkept yards….hard pass.
Another clear sign are windows made of plywood.

Check the number of dollar stores in the area.

Look at the schools it is zoned to on Har. Look at the economically disadvantaged percentage. If it is less than 25% you're solid. Especially for elementary because that will be more in sync with your neighborhood versus high school.
