This dataset is ideal for real estate analysis, financial forecasting, and market trend visualization.

📑 Column Descriptions

House Price Prediction Dataset.

The dataset contains 2000 rows of house-related data, representing various features that could influence house prices. Below, we discuss key aspects of the dataset, which include its structure, the choice of features, and potential use cases for analysis.

1. Dataset Features

The dataset is designed to capture essential attributes for predicting house prices, including:

Area: Square footage of the house, which is generally one of the most important predictors of price. Bedrooms & Bathrooms: The number of rooms in a house significantly affects its value. Homes with more rooms tend to be priced higher. Floors: The number of floors in a house could indicate a larger, more luxurious home, potentially raising its price. Year Built: The age of the house can affect its condition and value. Newly built houses are generally more expensive than older ones. Location: Houses in desirable locations such as downtown or urban areas tend to be priced higher than those in suburban or rural areas. Condition: The current condition of the house is critical, as well-maintained houses (in 'Excellent' or 'Good' condition) will attract higher prices compared to houses in 'Fair' or 'Poor' condition. Garage: Availability of a garage can increase the price due to added convenience and space. Price: The target variable, representing the sale price of the house, used to train machine learning models to predict house prices based on the other features.

2. Feature Distributions

Area Distribution: The area of the houses in the dataset ranges from 500 to 5000 square feet, which allows analysis across different types of homes, from smaller apartments to larger luxury houses. Bedrooms and Bathrooms: The number of bedrooms varies from 1 to 5, and bathrooms from 1 to 4. This variance enables analysis of homes with different sizes and layouts. Floors: Houses in the dataset have between 1 and 3 floors. This feature could be useful for identifying the influence of multi-level homes on house prices. Year Built: The dataset contains houses built from 1900 to 2023, giving a wide range of house ages to analyze the effects of new vs. older construction. Location: There is a mix of urban, suburban, downtown, and rural locations. Urban and downtown homes may command higher prices due to proximity to amenities. Condition: Houses are labeled as 'Excellent', 'Good', 'Fair', or 'Poor'. This feature helps model the price differences based on the current state of the house. Price Distribution: Prices range between $50,000 and $1,000,000, offering a broad spectrum of property values. This range makes the dataset appropriate for predicting a wide variety of housing prices, from affordable homes to luxury properties.

3. Correlation Between Features

A key area of interest is the relationship between various features and house price: Area and Price: Typically, a strong positive correlation is expected between the size of the house (Area) and its price. Larger homes are likely to be more expensive. Location and Price: Location is another major factor. Houses in urban or downtown areas may show a higher price on average compared to suburban and rural locations. Condition and Price: The condition of the house should show a positive correlation with price. Houses in better condition should be priced higher, as they require less maintenance and repair. Year Built and Price: Newer houses might command a higher price due to better construction standards, modern amenities, and less wear-and-tear, but some older homes in good condition may retain historical value. Garage and Price: A house with a garage may be more expensive than one without, as it provides extra storage or parking space.

4. Potential Use Cases

The dataset is well-suited for various machine learning and data analysis applications, including:

House Price Prediction: Using regression techniques, this dataset can be used to build a model to predict house prices based on the available features. Feature Importance Analysis: By using techniques such as feature importance ranking, data scientists can determine which features (e.g., location, area, or condition) have the greatest impact on house prices. Clustering: Clustering techniques like k-means could help identify patterns in the data, such as grouping houses into segments based on their characteristics (e.g., luxury homes, affordable homes). Market Segmentation: The dataset can be used to perform segmentation by location, price range, or house type to analyze trends in specific sub-markets, like luxury vs. affordable housing. Time-Based Analysis: By studying how house prices vary with the year built or the age of the house, analysts can derive insights into the trends of older vs. newer homes.

House Price Index YoY in the United States decreased to 1.70 percent in September from 2.40 percent in August of 2025. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for the United States FHFA House Price Index YoY.

Research in modelling housing market dynamics using agent-based models (ABMs) has grown due to the rise of accessible individual-level data. This research involves forecasting house prices, analysing urban regeneration, and the impact of economic shocks. There is a trend towards using machine learning (ML) algorithms to enhance ABM decision-making frameworks. This study investigates exogenous shocks to the UK housing market and integrates reinforcement learning (RL) to adapt housing market dynamics in an ABM. Results show agents can learn real-time trends and make decisions to manage shocks, achieving goals like adjusting the median house price without pre-determined rules. This model is transferable to other housing markets with similar complexities. The RL agent adjusts mortgage interest rates based on market conditions. Importantly, our model shows how a central bank agent learned conservative behaviours in sensitive scenarios, aligning with a 2009 study, demonstrating emergent behavioural patterns.

Operating-Income Time Series for Japan Real Estate Investment Corp. Japan Real Estate Investment Corporation (the "Company") was established on May 11, 2001 pursuant to Japan's Act on Investment Trusts and Investment Corporations ("ITA"). The Company was listed on the real estate investment trust market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange ("TSE") on September 10, 2001 (Securities Code: 8952). Since its IPO, the size of the Company's assets (total acquisition price) has grown steadily, expanding from 92.8 billion yen to 1,167.7 billion yen as of March 31, 2025. Over the same period, the Company's portfolio has also increased from 20 properties to 77 properties. During the March 2025 period (October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025), the Japanese economy continued to demonstrate a gradual recovery, despite some lingering stagnation in capital investment and personal consumption due to inflation and other factors. On the other hand, given the policy rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, the shift in global interest rates to a lowering phase, the impact of U.S. policy trends, such as trade policy and other factors, interest rate trends, overseas political and economic developments, and price trends, including resource prices, will continue to bear watching. In the office leasing market, demand continues to grow for leases driven by business expansion and relocations aimed at improving location. As a result, the vacancy rate in central Tokyo continues to decline gradually. In addition, rent levels are rising at an accelerating rate. In light of the prevailing conditions in the leasing market, the Company is striving to attract new tenants through strategic leasing activities and to further enhance the satisfaction level of existing tenants by adding value to its portfolio properties with the aim of maintaining and improving the occupancy rate and realizing sustainable income growth across the entire portfolio. In the real estate trading market, despite the Bank of Japan normalizing its monetary policy, the appetite for property acquisition among both domestic and foreign investors remains firm, backed ma

The Chinese economy has undergone a long-term transition reform, but there is still a planned economy characteristic in the financial sector, which is financial repression. Due to the existence of financial repression, China’s actual interest rate level should be lower than the Consumer Price Index (CPI). However, based on official China’s interest rates and CPI, over half of the years China’s actual interest rate remained higher than CPI by our calculation from 1999 to 2022. This is inconsistent with the financial repression that exists in China, and the main reason is the calculation methods of China’s CPI. China’s CPI measurement system originated from the planned economy era, which did not fully consider the rise in housing purchase prices, so the current CPI measurement system can be more realistically presented by taking the rise in housing prices into consider. The core idea of this study is to mining relevant official statistical data and calculate the proportion of Chinese residents’ expenditure on purchasing houses to their total expenditure. By taking the proportion of house purchases as the weight of house price factor, and taking the proportion of other consumption as the weight of official CPI, the Generalized CPI (GCPI) is formulated. The GCPI is then compared with market interest rates to determine the actual interest rate situation in China over the past 20 years. This study has found that if GCPI is used as a measure, China’s real interest rates have been negative for most years since 1999. Chinese residents have suffered the negative effects of financial repression over the past 20 years, and their property income cannot keep up with the actual losses caused by inflation. Therefore, it is believed that China’s CPI calculation method should be adjusted to take into account the rise in housing prices, so China’s actual inflation level could be more accurately reflected. In view of the above, deepening interest rate marketization reform and expand channels for financial investment are the future development goals of China’s financial system.

Context

This dataset was actually made to check the correlations between a housing price index and its crime rate. Rise and fall of housing prices can be due to various factors with obvious reasons being the facilities of the house and its neighborhood. Think of a place like Detroit where there are hoodlums and you don't want to end up buying a house in the wrong place. This data set will serve as historical data for crime rate data and this in turn can be used to predict whether the housing price will rise or fall. Rise in housing price will suggest decrease in crime rate over the years and vice versa.

LABOR MARKET ENGAGEMENT INDEXSummary

The labor market engagement index provides a summary description of the relative intensity of labor market engagement and human capital in a neighborhood. This is based upon the level of employment, labor force participation, and educational attainment in a census tract (i). Formally, the labor market index is a linear combination of three standardized vectors: unemployment rate (u), labor-force participation rate (l), and percent with a bachelor’s degree or higher (b), using the following formula:

Where means and standard errors are estimated over the national distribution. Also, the value for the standardized unemployment rate is multiplied by -1.

Interpretation

Values are percentile ranked nationally and range from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the higher the labor force participation and human capital in a neighborhood.

Official Background

In setting out to create a new home price index, a major problem Zillow sought to overcome in existing indices was their inability to deal with the changing composition of properties sold in one time period versus another time period. Both a median sale price index and a repeat sales index are vulnerable to such biases (see the analysis here for an example of how influential the bias can be). For example, if expensive homes sell at a disproportionately higher rate than less expensive homes in one time period, a median sale price index will characterize this market as experiencing price appreciation relative to the prior period of time even if the true value of homes is unchanged between the two periods.

The ideal home price index would be based off sale prices for the same set of homes in each time period so there was never an issue of the sales mix being different across periods. This approach of using a constant basket of goods is widely used, common examples being a commodity price index and a consumer price index. Unfortunately, unlike commodities and consumer goods, for which we can observe prices in all time periods, we can’t observe prices on the same set of homes in all time periods because not all homes are sold in every time period.

The innovation that Zillow developed in 2005 was a way of approximating this ideal home price index by leveraging the valuations Zillow creates on all homes (called Zestimates). Instead of actual sale prices on every home, the index is created from estimated sale prices on every home. While there is some estimation error associated with each estimated sale price (which we report here), this error is just as likely to be above the actual sale price of a home as below (in statistical terms, this is referred to as minimal systematic error). Because of this fact, the distribution of actual sale prices for homes sold in a given time period looks very similar to the distribution of estimated sale prices for this same set of homes. But, importantly, Zillow has estimated sale prices not just for the homes that sold, but for all homes even if they didn’t sell in that time period. From this data, a comprehensive and robust benchmark of home value trends can be computed which is immune to the changing mix of properties that sell in different periods of time (see Dorsey et al. (2010) for another recent discussion of this approach).

For an in-depth comparison of the Zillow Home Value Index to the Case Shiller Home Price Index, please refer to the Zillow Home Value Index Comparison to Case-Shiller

Each Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) is a time series tracking the monthly median home value in a particular geographical region. In general, each ZHVI time series begins in April 1996. We generate the ZHVI at seven geographic levels: neighborhood, ZIP code, city, congressional district, county, metropolitan area, state and the nation.

Underlying Data

Estimated sale prices (Zestimates) are computed based on proprietary statistical and machine learning models. These models begin the estimation process by subdividing all of the homes in United States into micro-regions, or subsets of homes either near one another or similar in physical attributes to one another. Within each micro-region, the models observe recent sale transactions and learn the relative contribution of various home attributes in predicting the sale price. These home attributes include physical facts about the home and land, prior sale transactions, tax assessment information and geographic location. Based on the patterns learned, these models can then estimate sale prices on homes that have not yet sold.

The sale transactions from which the models learn patterns include all full-value, arms-length sales that are not foreclosure resales. The purpose of the Zestimate is to give consumers an indication of the fair value of a home under the assumption that it is sold as a conventional, non-foreclosure sale. Similarly, the purpose of the Zillow Home Value Index is to give consumers insight into the home value trends for homes that are not being sold out of foreclosure status. Zillow research indicates that homes sold as foreclosures have typical discounts relative to non-foreclosure sales of between 20 and 40 percent, depending on the foreclosure saturation of the market. This is not to say that the Zestimate is not influenced by foreclosure resales. Zestimates are, in fact, influenced by foreclosure sales, but the pathway of this influence is through the downward pressure foreclosure sales put on non-foreclosure sale prices. It is the price signal observed in the latter that we are attempting to measure and, in turn, predict with the Zestimate.

Market Segments Within each region, we calculate the ZHVI for various subsets of homes (or mar...
