Welcome to the real-estate-stats wiki!

This project began academically as a graduate project in a statistics course and with personal investment as a community member and a real estate property owner and lessor.

Questions work has attempted to address have begun with and included the following. Focus, time, imagination and contribution are its only constraints from here.

↳ Have liability limitations of LLC property owners been shown to be effective in legal proceedings?

↳ Is there any distinction with or impact of ownership or property transfer with LLC entities on market rates?

Those first objectives may seem purely academic or business minded, like low-hanging fruit to a degree and with solutions fairly limited by legal and business registration data access. There is potential to extend these kinds of analyses for broader learning.

City housing data are shadows of inequitable racial practices, that pervaded the actions of public and private players in history, and have shaped values placed on brick and mortar and which constrain the equity and financial mobility of residents. Countless previous research has shown extents of which African-American and Black individuals and their generational families have experienced undervaluation of homes. As a White woman [Kathryn] has born witness to and been a part of history which continues until we alter its path with interventions.

Not proposing to 𝙘𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙖𝙣, this repository is open to contribution and projects that focus on data and its applications for wealth access with respect to real estate property—compilation of missing data as reflections of real life; making previously disconnected datatasets align; or indexing, analyzing and computing differently with clear and documented validation.

Open to its/my/our blind spots, biases and false conceptions or misdirection.

Imagine...

↳ an ‘Educators Row’ of homes that remain affordable in direct relationship to rising City School District teacher salaries

↳ Home equity index with fresh perspectives on and measures for calculating valuation,

☡ with exposure to money for home maintenance and construction opportunities as well as choices with selling homes including those which can create long term income for sellers and also stabilize neighborhood affordability, e.g. as lessors of rent to own agreements with a likelihood of leading to sale and win-win distribution of payment terms, sale price and interest.
