Housing Prices across university/non-university towns
The project covered in this post is based on UMichigan’s Intro to DS in Python Week 4 on Coursera. The repo and datasets are available on my GitHub. The purpose of the project was to compare the impact of recession on housing prices across university/non-university towns. The datasets used in this project were university_towns.txt (list of US-based universities and their towns) world_bank.csv (CSV of countries with their annual GDP from 1960 to 2015) City_Zhvi_AllHomes.csv (CSV of housing prices by month across regions and states) Hypothesis: University towns housing prices are less affected by recession compared to non-university housing prices.
