HooDat
Reverse address lookup

See who lives at any address.

The short answer

To see who lives at an address, enter the full street address in the search box on this page, for example "1421 N 7th Ave, Phoenix, AZ". HooDat searches public records for current and previous residents and shows a free preview: masked names, age ranges, and how many records were found. Opening the full report costs 1–3 credits, depending on how much the record holds, and shows resident names, residency date ranges, and public contact details. A city or ZIP code alone isn't enough; the lookup needs a street address.

    See how many current and past residents matched, and their residency date ranges, before paying anything.

  3. Unlock the full report

    1–3 credits ($0.15–$0.25 a credit), priced by how much the record holds, reveals resident names, phone numbers, emails, previous addresses, and possible relatives, each field with source attribution.
