Assignment #3

Due Dates

Section 402: October 19 by end of day

Topics covered

  • geopandas and spatial operations
  • hvplot
  • Raster data

Description

This assignment will include two parts:

In Part 1, we’ll explore spatial trends evictions in Philadelphia using data from the Eviction Lab and building code violations using data from OpenDataPhilly.

We’ll be exploring the idea that evictions can occur as retaliation against renters for reporting code violations. Spatial correlations between evictions and code violations from the City’s Licenses and Inspections department can offer some insight into this question.

In Part 2, we’ll dive into the NDVI in Philadelphia more. Using Landsat data, we’ll calculate the NDVI within the city limits and compare it to the NDVI in the immediate suburbs. We’ll also calculate the NDVI at the locations of trees in Philadelphia, using a dataset of street trees from OpenDataPhilly.
