Quantitative Data Classification

As a journalist, I would use the Manual Breaks Classification method in order to get the most accurate representation of housing cost in Vancouver. This would enable me to emphasise how expensive housing costs are in Vancouver and would enable to create more sensationalism about the topic.

If I was a real estate agent preparing a presentation for prospective house buyers near UBC I would use the Equal Interval Classification method. Indeed, since my aim is to sell as many houses as possible, I would use the equal interval to make housing cost look more uniform in Vancouver. This would make housing cost near UBC look more affordable, and thus be able to make clients focus on the social advantages and safety of living near UBC, and differentiate the area compared to other places in Vancouver.

Some ethical implications could be brought up regarding data distortion and/or data manipulation.
