Why did we choose this dataset?
We decided that this data would provide the best visuals as well as tell a story as to the socioeconomic disparities in our city. �
The dataset was straightforward and provided a lot of possible visualizations - such as a topographic map as well as bra graphs. When we talk of the topographic map, it is in reference to the provided geojson which is the parcel map.
How do we prove it?
Distance from SU: To understand how far each data point can be influenced by SU
Property Value per acre: The value of the infrastructure on the land - How much people are investing into the property
Land Value per acre: The value of the land itself - The best representation to normalize large and small parcels with a standardized system
How’d we choose our graphs?
Our definition of value was the difference between the total value and land value of the property, aka the property value
We could track these differences via a topographic map of Syracuse, with different qualities being represented by different colors.
Or we could use bar graphs to display the distribution of various factors across Syracuse.
Proximity of data points in relation to SU main campus
How does the university affect the value and quality of property based on proximity?
How does the university affect the value and quality of land based on proximity?
The Ultimate Conclusion
Steps Syracuse Can Take Going Forward
Main Takeaway from our data:
Anywhere Students Go Thrives
Moving Forward:
Thank you!
