Data Collection General #33

Open banjtheman opened 3 years ago

banjtheman commented 3 years ago

What is the Task

Collect county-level data on budgets for counties in any State

We would like to collect the following information for each county

state - State located county - Name of County year - Year of budget item - Budget item budget - Ammount allocated to the item source - Where data come from

After CSV has been created, place in the data folder

data//states/STATE/COUNTY_NAME/budget.csv

Why do we want to do this

We need the data in order to create meaningful messages

How can I get started?

I would begin by googling X County, STate budget and begin compiling data into a CSV that can be used

Here is an example of the CSV https://raw.githubusercontent.com/banjtheman/defundthepolice/main/data/states/Virginia/Arlington/budget.csv
