Purpose

I created this project to see if I could get some insights on the concept of "Food Deserts", or areas in a city that have limited access to food sources, using the Four Square venue application's open data. The project was intended to visualize the geographic distribution of grocery stores in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana.

2. Grocery Store Data Project - My python project in a Jupyter Notebook file.
3. Indianapolis Zip Codes - CSV file for the zip codes in Indainapolis.
