This article will guide you with charts and techniques using Python code to express simultaneous changes in geospatial data.
Let’s get started!!
Geometry data
Start with importing libraries. We will mainly work with GeoPandas, a useful and easy-to-use library for plotting geospatial data.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import geopandas as gpd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
%matplotlib inline
Next, the geospatial information can be obtained from geojson.xyz, an open-source website that provides access to GeoJSON data for web mapping examples and experiments.
The geometry data that we are going to use are the boundaries of the states in the western United States. The code below shows how to get the geometry data, excluding Hawaii and Alaska.
This region will be the main area in this article. If you want to select different states, feel free to modify the list below.
