Hi, I’m Martin Slack, a student and data science explorer who’s fascinated by how numbers help us understand the world we live in.
I started The Data Lot because I believe data is more than just spreadsheets or dashboards—it’s a powerful way to ask better questions and find clearer answers. Whether I’m comparing neighborhoods, tracking housing trends, or visualizing how green space impacts city life, this blog is where I connect data with everyday decisions.

🧭 What This Blog Is About
At its core, The Data Lot is a blog about data science—not from a coding-heavy or academic perspective, but from a practical, real-world angle. I focus on using data to:
- Spot trends
- Create meaningful visualizations
- Tell clear, useful stories
My work is especially centered on two areas where data is often overlooked:
- 🏘️ Real Estate – From affordability and walkability to housing trends and community planning
- 🌿 Environment – Exploring how sustainability, urban design, and green infrastructure show up in the data
💡 What You’ll Find Here
- Data-driven posts grounded in real-world questions
- Visual tools and insights that are easy to understand
- Projects that connect housing, community, and environmental thinking
- Reflections as I grow and learn from the data itself
Whether you’re here to explore housing trends, get inspired by a visualization, or follow along as I learn—welcome. This blog is for the curious.
