Visualize LA 311 data

Need a simple verion of results from access the data workshop for Bulky Items (and LA Sanitation Dept in general).

I built this to be compact so it could run in binder.

Contents

• Data directory contains two files:

  1. parquet file with geodata for all requests (note - it is a thinned version of columns)
  2. a clean version of Neighborhood Council polygons

• Notebooks directory contains two notebooks with multiple visualizations of the requests

  • bulky-items-choropleth.ipynb is a detailed workflow for bulky items
  • explore,ipynb is a parameterized version (with minimal narrative) to apply the workflow to different request types

• Notebooks can be explored with binder

Setting Up Local Env

I use jupyter lab with ipywidgets and folium. The recipe is:

1. Assuming anaconda is installed, repo cloned, and you're in the directory, environment.yml can be used to build a baseline lab env with conda: conda env create -f environment.yml

2. Activate the new env: conda activate lasan

3. Fire up lab via jupyter lab

4. Explore
