Sharpen your mapping and data wrangling skills in R with these open data sites (code included)

When I worked on my doctorate in public health, I used some non-traditional sources of data to better understand homicides in Baltimore City. One of those sources was a local crime activist identified as “Cham.” <a href="https://chamspage.blogspot.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Their page contains a wealth of information on homicides in Baltimore</a>. They keep a running tally of homicides, with links to news articles and other sources of information. Along the same lines is the Baltimore Sun’s <a href="https://homicides.news.baltimoresun.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">database on homicides</a>. The lead reporter on the crime beat at the time allowed me to use those data for my analysis. And then there is the <a href="https://bniajfi.org/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance</a>. Their <a href="https://data-bniajfi.opendata.arcgis.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">data repository</a> is top notch. <a href="https://epiren.medium.com/sharpen-your-mapping-and-data-wrangling-skills-in-r-with-these-open-data-sites-code-included-869051cb6529">Click Here</a>
