It's huge, especially in CRE where identifying potential customer base is critical. Identifying trends in consumer choices, lifestyle preferences and such can also help in residential RE. People like what they like and will live where those things are most available.

Psychographics is the study of personality, values, opinions, attitudes, interests, and lifestyles, according Wikipedia. It appears this is a catchall for what we already have been doing for years.

I'd say super important.  You need to know who is buying and how to market to them.

I would think it has little relevance.

However it is hugely important to know as much about your target audience as possible.
