One thing rarely mentioned when these questions pop up is the ratio of single women / men for various criteria. For example, certain areas, mostly in the West, are heavily lopsided with single men in various age brackets. This means, if you're a hetero guy, it's really tough to date, find a potential partner, etc. OTOH, in NYC and DC, there are more women with college degrees than men; this equates to an easier time for that same guy. Same thing applies if your a woman, gay, etc. - find whichever area favors your target market. You can have a good guess of your boss, work environment, etc. based on the interviews, but until you've worked there, a lot of it is a gamble. OTOH, finding a detailed study of demographics is a Google search away.
