Here are the detailed steps to complete your project:

1. Find and Import Regions Corresponding to Neighborhoods in Denver,


Colorado
1. Identify Neighborhoods:
o Use resources like the Denver Open Data Catalog or the Wikipedia list of Denver
neighborhoods to get a comprehensive list of neighborhoods in Denver1.
2. Download or Extract Data:
o Download the neighborhood boundaries data from the Denver Open Data Catalog. This
data is usually available in formats like CSV, GeoJSON, or Shapefile.
3. Prepare Data for Import:
o If the data is in a format like GeoJSON or Shapefile, use tools like QGIS or online
converters to convert it to a CSV format that can be imported into Excel.
o Ensure the CSV file includes columns for neighborhood names and their corresponding
regions.
4. Import Data to Excel:
o Open Excel and import the CSV file using the “Get Data” feature.
o Merge this data with your existing Excel file using VLOOKUP or similar functions to
match street addresses with neighborhoods.

2. Create an Overlay for Average Home Age by Region


1. Find Data on Home Age:
o Use resources like the Colorado State Demography Office or studies like the one
from Today’s Homeowner to find data on the average home age by region23.
2. Download or Extract Data:
o Download the relevant data, ensuring it includes columns for regions and average home
ages.
3. Prepare Data for Import:
o Format the data into a CSV file with columns for regions and average home ages.
4. Import Data to Excel:
o Import the CSV file into Excel and merge it with your existing data using VLOOKUP or
similar functions.
5. Create Overlay:
o Use Excel’s “Map Chart” feature to create a visual overlay showing the average home
age by region.

3. Create an Overlay for Average Home Value by Region


1. Find Data on Home Values:
o Use resources like Zillow or the Colorado Association of REALTORS to find data on
average home values by region45.
2. Download or Extract Data:
o Download the relevant data, ensuring it includes columns for regions and average home
values.
3. Prepare Data for Import:

similar functions.
5. Create Overlay:
o Use Excel’s “Map Chart” feature to create a visual overlay showing the average home
value by region.

4. Create Various Views of the Data


1. Standardize Value/Area Unit:
o For regions of varying sizes, calculate the value per unit area (e.g., per square mile) to
standardize the data.
2. Create Pivot Tables:
o Use Excel’s PivotTable feature to create different views of the data by neighborhood,
region, or any other relevant category.
3. Visualize Data:
o Use Excel’s charting tools to create various visualizations, such as bar charts, pie
charts, and map overlays, to represent the data effectively.

Additional Tips

• Data Sources: If you need to purchase data, consider contacting local real estate
agencies or data providers like Zillow or the Colorado Association of REALTORS for
detailed and accurate datasets.
• Tools: Utilize tools like QGIS for geospatial data manipulation and Excel for data
analysis and visualization.
