Cleveland Eviction Mapping

I scraped data from the Cleveland Municipal court site on eviction filings from 2014 to 2020. I gathered population, demographic, and home value data from Zillow and the U.S. Census and mapped the per household eviction filing rates next to various demographics. Below, I included a leaflet map to view addresses/data regarding individual eviction filings in a neighborhood.

Project was built using:

  • Python/Selenium/BeautifulSoup for scraping data
  • GeoPandas for spatially joining geocoded eviction data to neighborhoods
  • R for gathering ACS demographic data by census block group
  • HTML/CSS/JavaScript/jQuery for basic front-end construction
  • D3/Leaflet for visualizations
  • Heroku for hosting
