This project uses pdm as a dependencies manager and dvc to manage data versioning.
Firstly, make sure you have pdm (get it from the cheeseshop), then just do pdm install to install dependencies.
If you know how to reach me, I may be able to provide you with a remote for the dvc data.
To fetch US Census data, get an API key. Copy the config.default.json file in the
repository and name it config.json. Enter your API key into the file.
Run the python get_census_data.py script. This fetches a selection of
data from the Data Profiles and Subjects tables of the American Community Survey.
See https://api.census.gov/data.html for the actual tables and fields that are available.
This data doesn't require any authentication - just run the get_gis_layers.py script.
