In RobWiederstein/retirementDash: Retirement Locator

retirementDash

Purpose

The goal of retirementDash is to present pertinent and relevant criteria for selecting a retirement location in the United States.

Usage

Step 1 Landing Page

The side panel provides 17 criteria to filter the 3,142 United States counties. The sliders were preset to the 2.5% and the 97.5% percentiles to eliminate outliers. With seventeen sliders set in a similar manner, only 2028 counties display when the select counties button is pushed.

Step 2 Counties Tab

The counties tab displays the filtered results in a tabular form. The user may select, sort and download the counties that meet his or her criteria.

Step 3 Analysis Tab

The user may use the x-axis and y-axis axis to create a scatterplot. Additional attributes for size and color are provided. This could be helpful in further refining the criteria on the landing page. For example, some parts of the United States have very high housing prices relative to household income, a variable named years_to_payoff. Users may then reset the inputs based upon the analyzer plot.

Step 4 Migration Tab

A fourth tab includes inter-county migration data from the IRS. Entry of one county shows where its residents migrated to ("moved-out") and where its residents came from ("moved-in").
