Could you build this?
Partial The front-end web dashboard with Leaflet maps and charts is straightforward to vibe code, but aggregating and updating reliable, cleaned rental transaction and median rent data across 4,000 cities and 8,000 ZIP codes requires non-trivial data engineering pipelines.
What it would actually take: The stack would feature Next.js/Tailwind with Leaflet/Mapbox and PostgreSQL/PostGIS. The difficult part is building and maintaining continuous scraping or commercial API pipelines (MLS, rental portals, public census/HUD data) and normalizing the millions of dirty rental listings across US jurisdictions to calculate statistically sound medians without skew.
