This project highlights how the housing market can create inequality among students. Rising rent prices make it harder for some students to afford safe and convenient housing, especially those with limited financial resources.
- Key Issue: Housing affordability and student financial pressure
- Groups Affected: Lower-income students, out-of-state students
- Approach: Using data and visualizations to show differences in cost and access
One key analysis is that not all students are affected equally. Some students are forced into lower-quality housing or longer commutes, which can impact their overall college experience.
