I chose this dataset because I wanted the opportunity to visualize data on a map. I hope to create an interactive map visualization that allows a user to see certain metrics on a map of San Francisco by neighborhood. This data will be interesting and useful because it can allow a user to determine the best neighborhoods to live in based on whatever metrics they choose.
The dataset can be found here on the SF OpenData page, or on my github repository. The data is free for use by the public.
The dataset contains both numerical and categorical features. The categorical features are "scores" such as hazard score, housing score and economy score (these are numerical features that will be used as categorical data).Currently, I have not performed any modifications to the data.
