This repository contains data and scripts for my first capstone project in the Springboard Data Science Career Track
See miniprojects and exercises here
The main dataset for this project is the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) dataset, avialible via ftp
FARS data is recorded in absolute numbers of crashes, fatalities, etc. For some analyses, these numbers were adjusted based on population or subpopulation size with data from the US Census Bureau.
The FARS and census datasets use the Geographic Locator Code system to identify states and counties with numeric values.
