Get ACS data from the appropriate API and join them to Census Tract and Block Group feature classes used for Title 6 and Environmental Justice analyses.
This project is run in a python environment using conda that comes with ArcGIS Pro. The most important packages needed are:
- python 3.4.4
- pandas 0.20.1
- requests 2.14.2
- Create python environment with aforementioned packages
- Save all python files to same directory
- Update the base_dir variable with a file location from your computer
- Navigate to the directory where you saved all the files with command prompt
- type 'python main.py'
- troubleshoot any errors and fix them or report an issue on github
- check the directory you specified in step 3
- profit?
And I suppose you need ArcMap for joining the data to the geographies part. You can use QGIS and get spatial files from the Census Website or API. I will work to perform spatial operations with gdal bindings or geopandas so that the script can be run without ArcMap from soup to nuts.
