nextHome will be an easy tool to help college students make their decision on where to move after school. The project is an interactive map that helps a user find out which U.S states are best for them. 


Many students struggle to find out where they want to be in the future. nextHome was designed as a tool to help make that decision easier. When someone opens the website, they will scroll down and see a empty map. Next to the map, they will see sliders and buttons they can interact with. Changing the values of the sliders or enabling a button will make the map appear differently. The map will highlight states which it thinks represents the user's input values. The sliders control things like population density, weather, and cost of living, while the buttons control absolute things like coastline, or protected abortion rights. Unlike other resources, nextHome will be personalizable to fit what the user wants from their next home.
