Abstract: Despite the severe shortage of affordable housing in the United States, the social issue of homeownership is not well-understood and under-researched. We discuss two different studies in this paper. The first study presents the trends identified from articles relevant to affordable housing and data science approaches. The articles shortlisted for the first study were selected through a systematic literature review. The second study examines patterns and trends in housing characteristics, ownership, and occupancy at the Florida county level. More specifically, this research aims to understand the home affordability for renters vs owners using publicly available data. This paper analyzes housing data gathered from the U.S. Census Bureau. Using Tableau, we created interactive maps and visualizations to conduct exploratory data analysis and present the findings. Our analysis revealed significant disparities in housing conditions, ownership, and occupancy between different regions and counties in Florida. We also found that demographic variables such as age and income are key factors in relevance to housing patterns and trends.
