It is fake.
If you follow the links its also promoting "ChildTrader" (auto trader but for kids) and DogFighting as an alternative source of income.
It seems to pull surnames from the local phone book then generate random ages, convictions and first names to go along with them.
You'll also notice the names and location change each time you search the same address.
If you want to find actual valid information you can search for your local government site.
eg. Maryland Sex Offender Registry
Virginia Sex offendor registry
Florida Criminal Offender registry
The scary thing about this site is its not that obvious a hoax and anyone looking at it may think its real.
The scarier thing about this site is on an average search you're turning up 4-10 names near you. I searched my area and there were 47.
And thats just sex offenders.

It never hurts to suspect your neighbors though.

Epic fail.
