Housing is of primary importance for immigrants in New York City. The study analyzed the house conditions and price changes of residents in New York City from NYCHVS survey during the past 30 years. Firstly, a house condition index is summarized by dimension reduction approach. In addition, we established a two-stage predictive model on the rent with spatial temporal information as well as house condition. Data visualization is utilized to show immigrant's preference and provide information for new residents to settle down in the city.
