US_Housing_Prices & Affordability

Overview

In this project, you will use R to solve counting and probability problems. To gain the most benefit from this project, avoid calculating numeric values and entering them into R. Instead, use R to do all necessary calculations. This project analyzes trends in U.S. housing prices and affordability using open-source data. The goal

is to answer seven analytical questions using charts, graphs, and written explanations, culminating in a 2-3-slide presentation and a 1-2 page report.

Data Sources

  • Zillow Housing Data home prices over time by state/city
  • U.S. Census Data median household income and demographic context
  • Instructions

    To complete this assignment, you will produce and submit two files: A report (PPT) containing answers and visual results following the use of R scripts, along with a Doc file addressing the questions. To successfully complete this project, carefully follow all instructions. Pay special attention to formatting guidelines.
