My last piece of advice.. especially if you're doing fixer uppers.. expect 90% of the things to go wrong, life happens, you need to have the financial backing to pay for stuff... if not, you'll just be another statistic.  

@Will Jo The data I cited comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S.

The use of the statistical information will allow to anticipate future developments, to supply the demand.Citizens bet on living in large urban centers.

This is a statistical nightmare for sampling and data selection.mls entries vs populationHow many are actually buyers willing to make an offer? 

Failing that, statistics and data are a good starting point.

I cannot provide any figures, statistics etc but I can tell you three things: 1) you can "statistisize" the heck out of everything, 2) your statement is too broad and 3) it's too apodictic.It very much depends on how/where one invests.

I want to create a statistical model that can predict if a certain construction project will succeed or not.

I could totally be wrong, but my guess is lenders like Sally Mae report these types of statistics on a periodic basis.

This is why the census uses metropolitan statistical areas start off at 100K.At 200K these markets have already made the transition and are dealing with urban problems rather than zoning and mindset problems of preserving a small town feel while transitioning into urban density.So "emerging" will look very different in each of these city sizes.
