Nextdoor Neighborhood Scraper: City Demographics & Directory

Get the Nextdoor area profile of any US city for $7.50 per 1,000 cities: residents, average age, average income, homeowner share, Nextdoor's affordability and friendliness scores, how many neighborhoods and local groups the city has, what neighbors like doing there and why they love it, plus Nextdoor's FAQ answers and coordinates. Each city also comes with its directory of neighborhoods, local businesses and groups at $1 per 1,000 entries. No login, no cookies, no Nextdoor account.

{
  "cities": ["San Francisco, CA", "Austin, TX"]
}

Input	Rows
City link or "City, ST"	One area profile: residents, age, income, homeowners, scores, counts, interests, FAQ
Same city, with the directory on (default)	Up to 50 directory entries: neighborhoods, then businesses, then local groups with member counts
Neighborhood link	One area profile with the neighborhood's name, short description and picture
followNeighborhoods	A neighborhood profile for each neighborhood in the city's directory (capped per city)

Why Use This Scraper?

• Local demographics in one row. Residents, average age and income, homeowner share and two Nextdoor scores, as numbers ready for a spreadsheet.
• What neighbors care about. The top interests (walking, dogs, home improvement...) and the reasons neighbors give for loving the place, split into lists.
• Type a city, not a URL. "Austin, TX" or "Saint Louis, Missouri" works; a city Nextdoor does not have is reported and not charged.
• Priced per city, not per run. $0.0075 per area profile; other Nextdoor city actors charge $0.008 to $0.09 per row.

Use Cases

• Real estate: compare income, homeowner share and affordability across the cities you invest or sell in.
• Local marketing: pick cities by age, income and interests before a campaign; find the local groups with the most members.
• Market research: build a table of US cities with Nextdoor's resident counts and neighborhood counts.
• Franchise and site selection: shortlist towns by income, affordability and how friendly neighbors rate them.
• Neighborhood lists: get the neighborhood names Nextdoor uses in a city, with their links.

How It Works

1. Cities written as "City, ST" are turned into their Nextdoor city links; links are read as given.
2. Every city and neighborhood page is profiled first, four at a time (about 40 seconds each), so a small budget always gets the main rows.
3. Then each city's directory is read: up to 50 entries.
4. With followNeighborhoods on, the neighborhoods from those directories are profiled last.
5. Every row is charged as it is delivered, and the run stops cleanly at your spending limit.

FAQ

Do neighborhoods get demographics too? No. Nextdoor shows residents, income and scores on city pages only. A neighborhood page gives its name, a short description and a picture, which is why followNeighborhoods is off by default.

How many directory entries does a city have? Up to 50, in the order Nextdoor lists them: neighborhoods first (alphabetical), then businesses, then local groups. A big city such as San Francisco (192 neighborhoods) returns its first 50 neighborhoods only; there is no second page. A small town like Sausalito returns all 16 neighborhoods plus 30 businesses and 3 groups.

Can I scrape business pages, posts or reviews? No. Business pages, groups, category directories and posts are not supported: the data source answers them with wrong or empty data. Only city and neighborhood pages on nextdoor.com are read. Nextdoor UK, Canada and other countries are not supported.

What if a city does not exist on Nextdoor? Nextdoor sends the link to its "Join your neighborhood" page. The actor spots this, logs it and does not charge. A neighborhood that does not exist redirects to its city and is handled the same way.

Are the numbers exact? They are what Nextdoor shows on the page. Most match census figures; a few pages carry odd values (New York's city page shows 862 residents), so check outliers.

Do I need a Nextdoor account? No.

Pricing

Event	When	Price
Actor start	Once per run (per GB of memory, 256 MB default)	$0.005
Area profile	Each city or neighborhood profile	$0.0075
Directory entry	Each neighborhood, business or group listed on a city page	$0.001

Example: 100 cities with their full directories cost 100 × $0.0075 + 5,000 × $0.001 + $0.005 = $5.755. Profiles alone for the same 100 cities cost $0.755.
