Automated Data Processing: Making Community Indicators Possible for Lafayette, Indiana

Abstract

The Ware Research Group previously completed multiple studies that provide the framework for our automation project. One study compiled the property conditions of the Lincoln neighborhood in Lafayette. Another study investigated the current state of evictions in Lafayette. A third study analyzed factors related to resident retention in the northern neighborhoods of Lafayette. We are automating the data analysis process associated with these studies to provide data to the City of Lafayette to inform decisions on neighborhood revitalization, affordable housing, and homelessness intervention.
