St. Louis County Segregation Analysis
This repository contains analysis and data notes used for the August 20, 2014 BuzzFeed News article "The Ferguson Area Is Even More Segregated Than You Probably Guessed."
Data
The data for this analysis comes from the American Community Survey's 2012 5-year data, via American Fact Finder. Specifically, it comes from tables DP03 (employment), DP04 (housing), DP05 (race), and S1701 (poverty).
Since it's a lot of data (several hundred megabytes), it's not included directly in this repository.
Analysis
Analysis for this project was conducted in an IPython notebook, the raw version of which can be found here. A rendered version of the notebook, can be viewed here.
