All Pull Requests must follow the Pull Request Template, with a title formatted like such [Project Name]: <Descriptive Title>
To get a better idea about the distribution of landlords not enrolled in different affordable housing programs. Important features to be considered: number of units, geographic location, and the demographic profile of the census block group. We will also look into the percentage of housing stock that is owned by the owner occupied and the small landlords, and at % affordable. 2.
The two main data sources are the current affordable housing listings database, and the current owner occupied units database. The main request will rely on these. Further analysis will benefit from Census or demographic data.Meeting times scheduled for after class on Wednesdays.
We have explored different datasets in different notebooks. If we need to mix different datasets then we will use our a new notebook and provide a decription of what datasets(and derivatives) are used in that notebook. This section contains notebooks and their descriptions.https://datacommon.mapc.org/browser/datasets/360
Goals of this notebook:
Pull all residential properties from parcel database for Boston & Identify which are owner occupied and how many units for each property
bostonParcelsData.csv This dataset is not very well suited for our analysis, since it doesn't offer information about whether or not a housing unit is owner occupied or affordable. It does contain a great breadth of all units in Boston, however the main issue with the data is that the row identfiers for any given property don't seem to have a match with other datasets. Thus it will be very hard to use this dataset with the other datasets we have been provided. If the PM or someone from City Council could fill us in on this dataset's dictionary we could have some use for it in the future for the extended project.Dataset with all Boston units: https://data.boston.gov/dataset/property-assessment/resource/4b99718b-d064-471b-9b24-517ae5effecc
Dataset with Boston affordable housing stock: http://www.bostonplans.org/housing/finding-housing/property-listings
Goals of this notebook:
- Obtain distribution of affordable housing stock across Boston.
- Analyze all Boston Housing Units and distribution
- See how we can mix data from Boston Housing Units and Affordable Housing Stock
Dataset with income restricted units: https://data.boston.gov/dataset/income-restricted-housing
Goals of this notebook:
- Obtain distribution of income restricted housing Boston.
- See how we can mix data with Boston Affordable Housing Stock and Complete Boston Housing
