Mingoose sits on the north Cornwall coast, the kind of place where the settlement pattern is scattered farmhouses and a scatter of newer bungalows rather than a proper high street — you're not going to find a parade of shops here, and that tells you most of what you need to know before anything else does.
Beyond that, there's honestly not much I can respectably tell you. The area is too small to carry its own crime figures, school ratings, transport counts or house price data in the records I've got — which is typical for a hamlet-sized locality rather than a town, and not itself a red flag. What is worth knowing is where Cornwall as a whole tends to sit: the county's median house price runs a shade under the national figure, and this is a place people move to for the coast and the quiet rather than for commuting convenience or amenity density. If you're weighing up Mingoose specifically, the sensible next step is to look at the nearest named villages or the Perranporth/Truro area for the schools, transport and shopping picture, since Mingoose itself will lean entirely on its neighbours for day-to-day life.
