Births in Delaware from 2009 to 2014

Using the following dataset we can analyze the births in Delaware from 2009 to 2014. I will be using the requests library to do so.

import requests
url = 'https://data.delaware.gov/resource/y8fa-dqxh.json?$limit=100000'
response = requests.get(url)
if response.status_code == 200:
    data = response.json()

We can now use our response object to analyze the data. Delaware is a small state, let's find out how many births, of the total 72456, were in each county. Delaware has three counties: New Castle, Kent, Sussex.

kent, sussex, ncc = 0, 0, 0
for item in data:
    if item['county_of_residence'] == 'Sussex':
        sussex += 1
    elif item['county_of_residence'] == 'New Castle':
        ncc += 1
    else:
        kent += 1
print(ncc, kent, sussex)

We can plot that data to show the following:

labels = 'NCC', 'Kent', 'Sussex'
sizes = [ncc, kent, sussex]
fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots()
ax1.pie(sizes, labels=labels, autopct='%1.1f%%', shadow=False, startangle=90)
ax1.axis('equal')
plt.show()
