Feel free to check out Spring 2020’s notebook that uses police shooting data for visualization if you are interestedin other mappable datasets.

Info about dataset

We will use a dataset of USA “mobility” which (I think comes from a a large census study from 1989-2015) and is collected in several places including right here. Here “mobility” is refering to how easy it is for a person to move up in economic status (more info can be found here) based on factors like parental income, location, race, etc.

Installation instructions: Idyll

We’ll be using Idyll to do some web-dev and we need to install another package manager, npm, to install Idyll and other Idyll-related packages.

Please follow these installation instructions to install the necessary packages.
