Does the PA dataset have the same crime rates as the FBI data? #8

PA was selected for this analysis because (a) they have more open privacy laws and (b) in an FBI dataset, PA had the most similar rates of crime as MA.

We need to validate that (b) remains true within our detailed dataset! As we don't have access to a detailed dataset for MA (or else we'd use it instead), instead we have to make sure the detailed dataset is close to the FBI summarized data.

This is a child issue of https://github.com/codeforboston/clean-slate/issues/6

A task dependent upon this one: If they are not, can we downsample such that they are representative?

No longer need a proxy state now that MA data is available.
