Custom Widget for Real Estate at DePaul University

The Institute for Housing Studies (IHS) is a multidisciplinary academic research center that provides data and analysis to inform housing-related policy and resource allocation decisions.

The Real Estate Center at DePaul University created the Institute for Housing Studies (IHS) in 2007 with support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation through the Preservation Compact. IHS is responsible for two of the Preservation Compact’s keystones: the Rental Housing Data Clearinghouse and the Interagency Council.

PolicyMap worked with IHS to create an interactive widget that could visually display the Rental Housing Inventory indexes unique to "Community Area" geographies for Chicago, IL. You can see the custom widget here on DePaul’s website (click here) or read about the data and calculations done to create the indexes (click here).
