# 🏠 Synthetic Housing Price Dataset

A synthetic tabular dataset designed for **machine learning regression** tasks.

The dataset contains **10,000** randomly generated houses with prices computed using a deterministic rule-based pricing model. It is intended for experimentation, benchmarking, and educational purposes.

> **Note:** This dataset is entirely synthetic and does not represent real-world housing market data.

# Dataset Summary

- **Rows:** 10,000
- **Features:** 6
- **Target:** `price`
- **Task:** Regression
- **License:** MIT

# Dataset Structure

| Feature | Type | Description |
|----------|------|-------------|
| `rooms` | Integer | Number of rooms |
| `area` | Integer | House area in square feet |
| `road_rating` | Float | Road quality rating (0.0–1.0) |
| `water_electricity` | Float | Water & electricity availability rating (0.0–1.0) |
| `police` | Integer | Nearby police station (0 = No, 1 = Yes) |
| `education` | Integer | Nearby educational institution (0 = No, 1 = Yes) |
| `price` | Integer | House price in USD (target variable) |

---

# Data Generation

The dataset was generated using **NumPy**.

Generation process:

- Random integer generation for `rooms` and `area`
- Uniform random values between **0** and **1** for infrastructure ratings
- Binary indicators for nearby police and educational facilities
- House prices computed from a rule-based pricing function using:
  - Base price per square foot
  - Infrastructure quality
  - Available amenities
  - Total house area

Because the underlying generation process is known, this dataset is useful for validating regression algorithms and benchmarking implementations.
