VT Census Case Studies : Arlington Crime Data Preperation
Created and last modified by molfe on 04 Nov 2015
Part 1 and Part 2
- Merged two parts together to add in process
- Separate the data between good geocodes and bad ones
- Place good geocodes into census tract
- Run the bad geocodes through the google API to get latitude and longitude. Placed incidents into census tract.
- Did not geo code those that were an intersection as google API does not recognize intersections. (652 incidents)
- Of the non-intersection, bad coordinates data, 51 were not able to be geocoded (i.e. interstate address)
- Created new variable on if crime was property or violent based on offence
