# 🏠 House Cost by Space

This dataset and accompanying Python script simulate housing rental costs as a function of square footage.  
The generated Excel file contains **100,000 rows** with three columns:

- **No.** → Row index (1 to 100,000)  
- **House Sq. Feet** → Randomly generated value between **100 and 100,000 sq ft**  
- **House Rent ($)** → Estimated rental cost in USD

## 📊 Data Generation Logic

- **Minimum size**: 100 sq ft → rent ≈ **$1,000**  
- **Maximum size**: 100,000 sq ft → rent ≈ **$1,000,000**  
- **Scaling rule**: Rent generally increases as square footage increases.  
- **Variability**: Realistic fluctuations are introduced so that the same house size may have slightly different rents.  
  - Example: a **100 sq ft** unit may rent for **$900, $950, $1,000, $1,050, or $1,100**, all centered around ~$1,000.  
- **All values are guaranteed positive.**
