During my junior year, I have the opportunity to participate in the advanced business analytics and case study project headed by professor of Carnegie Mellon University. During this period, I, together with other resourceful research assistants, was cooperating to apply quantitative techniques to assess the market value of all available neighborhoods in the Pittsburgh area and select the most appropriate house for the designated middle-class family. To start our research, I initiated to collect the detailed information of the 83 neighborhoods in the Pittsburgh area, including their names and resident population from 2010 to 2019. Believing that safety must be the top priority of residents, I then conducted comprehensive research on the past ten years’ number of offense counts of the available neighborhoods. This index then helped us eliminated half of the available neighborhoods. Afterward, I utilized RapidMiner to run in-depth cluster analyses on all collected ratings of Good for Families and Health & Fitness of all remaining neighborhoods to select the top seven neighborhoods which had the most suitable environment for family life and well-established facilities that best improved residents’ health and family harmony. The distributions of necessary amenities and the distance to nearby shopping malls, schools, and business centers were also our main research areas. But the most important factor we considered at this stage was the house price. With a limited budget, a middle-class family needed to buy a house with high cost performance. To satisfy this need, we then applied a house valuation model to estimate the market value of all available seven neighborhoods based on all collected data above mentioned. Besides, I also suggested to visualize the house price fluctuation trend, which then help us screen out an undervalued house with moderate price and highest cost performance.
