Affordable Housing Suitability Model

Ben Lucking, Prapunwa Areecharoenlert, Alasdair Watson, Bryce Fausset and Jina Wang Huang, Real Estate and Geography

Our group worked with a local construction company to help them find sites for their upcoming project of building affordable housing. In consultation with the owner of the local construction company, our group developed a specific set of criteria for the recommended locations. We operationalized these criteria and found or created spatial data. Finally, we normalized and weighted the criteria and created a suitability model that selected the top 10 potential sites for their affordability housing based on the importance we assigned each criteria. This poster was created for Dr. Rebecca Walters' class RE 370: Real Estate Data Modeling.
