Data Visualization
Design Concept: "Boston Airbnb Finder"
Introduction: This project aims to help users find the perfect Airbnb for their gathering by visually interpreting the Boston Airbnb open data set. Using D3.JS JavaScript Library, we will create interactive data visualizations that allow users to easily explore and compare various Airbnb options based on three key factors: number of guests, neighborhood, and price. The charts we considered are radar slider chart, bubble chart, sunburst chart, pie chart, and donut chart.
D3.js is highly customizable and can create a wide variety of visualizations, including bar charts, line charts, scatter plots, map visualizations, and more. This makes it an excellent choice for projects that require a high degree of flexibility and customization.
Features:
Accommodation Finder: Users can select the number of guests they need to accommodate. The visualization will display only the Airbnbs that can accommodate that number of guests using a radar slider chart.
Neighborhood Explorer: Users can compare the number of super hosts in each neighborhood and find which ones have the most experienced and highly rated hosts using a sunburst chart.
Price Comparison: Users can compare the average price of Airbnbs in each neighborhood and find the best value for their budget using a pie chart, donut chart, or bubble chart
Implementation:
Data Preprocessing: The open data set will be cleaned, transformed, and aggregated to create a helpful representation of the data for our visualization.
D3.JS Visualization: Using D3.JS, we will create interactive visualizations that allow users to explore the data and select the right Airbnb for their gathering. The visualizations will include a radar slider chart to show the number of guests each Airbnb can accommodate, a sunburst chart to indicate the number of super hosts in each neighborhood, and a pie chart, donut chart, or bubble chart to show the average price of Airbnbs in each area.
Interactivity: Users will be able to select the number of guests they need to accommodate, compare the number of super hosts in each neighborhood, and compare the average price of Airbnb in each neighborhood by interacting with the visualizations.
