Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I hear of City School District teachers leaving for higher paying teaching jobs in suburban districts.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Measure the affordability of homeownership to teachers in school catchment areas.

Blend data for teachers compensation with residential properties value ranges, FMV aggregates, and if mortgage availability if possible, to assign a score to each home for “Educator Affordability”.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Are teacher salaries public or available anonymously through their union or through surveys? Maintain privacy of individuals to all legal and ethical extents.

Condition and normalize affordability score across catchments with varying home values and salaries if applicable; alternately and if data supports this compare salaries and home values in direct relation to one another within distinct catchments.

Can other lending access be determined based on education or union data, such as likelihood of credit score ranges or other determinants affecting access to home ownership or long term leases and choice in home location? Acknowledge that housing prices alone are a simplified view of affordability.

Would teachers choose to live close to the school they work with if they could afford a satisfactory home and quality of life there?

Do schools or districts retain teachers longer if they own versus rent their homes within the district’s jurisdiction?
