Corporate-sponsored research is always suspect. Why is this an important research topic? Is the study notable or significant compared to other studies in this field? Just asking.
- Aeolun 7y agoIs this actual research? Or is it just Zillow extrapolating from data they already have to drive traffic?
- topkai22 7y agoIt’s mostly based on census data. It looks pretty solid, I’ve run numbers like this before (although I was looking families with children to live near, but old people.)
- chmaynard 7y agoWell, the URL contains the word "research", so I assume Zillow considers this to be a research report. "I don’t think industry really does very much research. They come up with an idea and they try to sell it. If it was a good idea, maybe they will make money. Even if it was a bad idea, if they have good marketing people, they might still make money and we never know..." Héctor Garcia-Molina, 1953–2019
