Brief Abstract

This presentation outlines the development of a comprehensive real estate analysis/data visualization tool created for the City of Philadelphia. By aggregating and integrating data from various city departments and external sources, this platform was created to provide a valuable tool for decision-making across multiple domains. Key features of the platform include: • Data Integration: Consolidation of siloed data from diverse city departments. • External Data Sources: Incorporation of data from APIs to enhance the application. • Neighborhood Life Cycle Index: Development of a metric to measure the vitality and evolution of neighborhoods. • Diverse User Base: Catering to the needs of potential homeowners, affordable housing developers, city planners, and businesses. This tool/application was created to enable transparency, data-driven decision-making, improve resource allocation, and support informed planning for the city's municipal government services. We will discuss the motivation, research, and findings of this undertaking.
