Lessons Learned

Development

GGVis is a great library to do visualizations.
Tooltip was easy to implement as a separate function
GGVis does not work in RPresenter (had to display static image)

Data

There is no easy linear relationship between population and rent for either metro or non-metro areas
Patterns in the data can be analyzed in a future project.
