Oct 2018 - Jan 2019
Safe@Home is a web application that displays crime data (from Oakland PD) and homes for sale data (from Redfin) as markers on a Google map. An user entered address will become the center of the map and the crime and home markers are populated around it. Each marker, when clicked, will display the information about the crime that occurred or the house for sale at that location. A bar graph displays the number of crimes by type in the area around the input address. The user can filter out the markers displayed on the map. Crimes are filtered by type of crime and homes filtered by listing price.
