Student Housing Market Intelligence Platform — Google Solutions Challenge VT 2026
CampusLens identifies undersupplied student housing markets by combining university enrollment trends, building permit data, and rent indices into a spatial Housing Pressure Score. It visualizes this data on Google Maps with H3 hex choropleths and uses a Gemini-powered agent to fetch and analyze data for any US university on demand.
College Scorecard + IPEDS → FastAPI Backend (Cloud Run) → React Frontend (Firebase)
Census BPS + ACS → Housing Pressure Score → Google Maps + H3 Hexes
ApartmentList / HUD FMR → Gemini Agent (function-calling) → Market Summaries
🚧 In development — see CampusLens_Project_Report.docx for the full technical plan.
