Inspiration

Witnessing the devastating impact of natural disasters on housing stability sparked our inspiration to develop Mortgage Master. We recognized the urgent need to leverage data-driven insights to understand and mitigate these effects, ensuring communities are equipped to withstand the challenges posed by climate change.

What it does

Mortgage Master harnesses the power of data-driven insights to empower stakeholders with real-time information and accessible tools. Through an interactive website, users can access vital information to make informed decisions and implement proactive risk mitigation strategies in the face of severe weather events.

How we built it

We built it using Python, SQL, Node.js, ReactJS, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, VS Code, and Google Collab. We also used APIs and Data Sets from FEMA and the United Census Bureau.

Challenges we ran into

The dataset was too large and we ran into many problems when trying to clean the dataset. Moreover, integrating the APIs while incorporating the data led to some challenges.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The map of the US comes up on the home page and all of our data imported correctly

What we learned

We have learned how to clean and filter large datasets.

What's next for Mortgage Master

Modify the website to incorporate data globally rather than solely the US. Examine additional factors to provide a more comprehensive assessment of risk rates. Develop a collaborative data platform for sharing insights and to foster exchange in knowledge and innovation.
