Corporate Buyouts: How investors and large corporations that are buying more single-family homes are putting a pinch on homeowners and renters across the greater Tampa Bay region by Gabriella Paul

A four-part series published with NPR affiliate WUSF detailing the buyout of single-family homes in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area.

My contribution to the series was the data pieces - using scrappy data methods like one from Who owns our homes - I mapped out each property owner in the Tampa Bay region and what they owned, how their ownership is clustered in the metro, and mapped build to rent neighborhoods. These were all done in a combination of R and SQL, and Plotly and Leaflet for visualization.
