Project Overview
The Housing Affordability Dashboard integrates multiple data sources including census data, real estate listings, income statistics, and rental indices to create a comprehensive view of housing affordability challenges in metropolitan areas across the United States, with a detailed emphasis on Cleveland's diverse neighborhoods.
The interactive dashboard visualizes key metrics such as housing price-to-income ratios, rental burden percentages, availability of affordable units, and historical trends. Users can compare Cleveland's unique housing market with other major metropolitan areas or dive deep into neighborhood-level analysis within Cleveland to understand localized affordability challenges and opportunities.
This tool will be particularly valuable for Cleveland housing advocates, community development corporations, and local government officials in identifying affordability gaps, targeting assistance programs, and measuring the impact of housing policies at the neighborhood level. The platform will support targeted interventions in neighborhoods with the greatest affordability challenges while highlighting successful models from other cities that could be adapted to Cleveland's context.
