Data Analysis project mapping price data for avocados onto a map of the USA.

See the blog post that accompanies this analysis on Towards Data Science.

The purpose of this project was to take price data for avocados and to create an attractive and understandable visualisation representing that. I wanted to get to grips with creating maps in Matplotlib, as well as using geocoding locations - taking addresses in text form and finding their coordinates, enabling them to be represented spatially.

I also wanted to take the opportunity to pickle some data so I could gain some experience with this technique, and pull data into my notebook using APIs.
