Interesting project using craiglist data.
This site presents summary data from an ongoing database of the rental market in San Francisco.
This allows us to display the cost of renting on a neighborhood basis, in a heatmap, or binned in1/2 mile intervals.This database is gleaned solely from craigslist, and we have been storing all of the San Francisco craigslist rental listings since August of 2006.
This graphs and plots within are updated nightly, save the heatmaps, which will be updated monthly.
As the database expands, we hope to show changes in the rental rates and net turnover over time.
In fact, we secretly hope large quake so that we can see a very rapid fall in the prices displayed on these maps, correlated to the liquifaction potential.Please note: Some of the Google-map functions do NOT appear to work in Safari or Internet Explorer.
Please use firefox! (The heatmaps do work, but the spatial overlays do not.)
