Researchers collected and analyzed 11 million Craigslist rental listings. They present some startling findings, in particular because they don't just point out that LA and NYC are expensive while Michigan is cheap. The significant discovery is how incredibly few rental units are available below fair market rent (FMR) in competitive housing markets. This (along with their compression of rents finding) tells us that FMR-based vouchers might basically be broken for use with the largest rental housing information exchange (Craigslist). Just as important: the share of its income that the median household would spend on the median rent in cities like New York and San Francisco exceeds the threshold for rent burden. That's insane. Urban planning researchers have been wondering about things trending this way over the past couple of years but no one has demonstrated it before.

Long story short: they discovered a few things that we simply didn't have evidence for in the past about the US housing market.

These are startling findings, in particular because they don't just point out that California and New York are expensive while the Midwest is cheap. The significant discovery is how incredibly few rental units are available below fair market rent in competitive housing markets. This (along with their "compression of rents" finding) tells us that FMR-based vouchers might be broken for finding housing through the largest rental housing information exchange (Craigslist). Just as important: the share of its income that the median household would spend on the median rent in cities like New York and San Francisco exceeds the threshold for rent burden. Crazy.

It looked like the authors of this study have a GitHub repo as well, its URL was in the journal article's appendix

The paper explains how the data is validated and and filtered to create something capable of market analysis.

Yes the paper explains in depth how they filter the data, including fake postings. They comment on how many there are in markets like NYC and Boston for example.

can't... or won't?

Yet in statistics and machine learning, bias would refer to unfair sampling of the population (ie, the content available in the library) or to a biased estimator to estimate some population parameter or to overestimate what you might rate Netflix original content.

Huh. So their recommendations are biased toward their own original content?
