Aterio’s CEO, Sergio Torro, uses data science and machine learning to predict population and housing trends in Montana, likening the process to a weather forecast. The company relies on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, population growth models from NASA, and real-time events to create a model that forecasts changes over time. While the forecast may not be exact, it is designed to get close to the actual outcome. Aterio refines its model based on historical predictions and real-time information, but acknowledges that unforeseen events can impact the accuracy of the forecast. For example, the model does not account for the impact of a popular TV show like “Yellowstone” on Montana’s recent growth. By incorporating various data sources and continuously refining their model, Aterio aims to provide valuable insights into the future population and housing trends in Montana.
