Master’s Thesis
Using several different datasets from HUD and USDA, I created a comprehensive model that compared the actual rental market in each U.S. county with a “fair market value” for each county based on median household income, unemployment, poverty, etc.
Highlighted Graphs:
A heat map of median 2 bedroom rental prices per U.S. County.
A Paretto of overall monthly rent distribution for Studio apartments in the U.S.
Heat map of Median Household Income per U.S. County.
Tiered histogram showing the average afforability for a county based on its median 2 bedroom rental price and rural-urban influence (1 being the most urban). Negative affordability implies expected loss each month.
