Understanding the affordability and talent availability in metropolitan regions like Tampa Bay is crucial for regional development and economic planning. Affordable living and a skilled workforce are key factors in attracting businesses, fostering economic growth, and improving the quality of life for residents. As urbanization continues to shape cities, analyzing these factors helps policymakers, businesses, and individuals make informed decisions about where to invest, work, and live. This project aims to provide valuable insights into how Tampa Bay compares to other MSAs, guiding efforts to enhance regional prosperity and competitiveness.

This project leverages advanced data analysis and machine learning techniques to assess affordability and talent availability in the Tampa Bay area and other MSAs. Data is sourced from various reliable providers, including the U.S. Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics, to calculate metrics such as median home price, grocery price index, healthcare costs, and labor force participation rate. The analysis is performed using tableau.
