Forrest Hangen is a PhD Candidate in Public Policy focusing on Urban and Regional Policy at Northeastern University in the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs. He is also an affiliate of the Boston Area Research Initiative. Forrest studies inequities in housing using “big” data and computational social science methodologies at multiple geographic scales. His most recent work focuses on uncovering ownership obscurity to study landlords and their strategies of social and physical property management. He uses fuzzy-matching to connect tax assessment and corporation records to link landlords and investors to their property portfolios.
At this session of Data + Donuts, Forrest will speak about his computational research on housing inequities.
