Clone the repo\n2. Run the Python script to fetch data:\n\n   ```bash\n   python fetch_commute_data.py\n   ```\n3. Open `commute_data.csv` or begin analysis in Jupyter\n\n---\n\n## 🔍 Possible Analyses\n\n* Percentage of long commuters per county\n* Geographic visualization (e.g., choropleth maps)\n* Comparison across states or regions\n* Correlation with population, urbanization, or infrastructure\n\n---\n\n## 📌 Dependencies\n\n* Python 3+\n* `requests`\n* `csv`\n* (Optional) `pandas`, `matplotlib`, `seaborn` for analysis and visualization\n\n---\n\n## 🧠 Motivation\n\nCommuting times influence productivity, mental health, and city planning. This project aims to surface insights from publicly available census data to help inform policies and research on transportation and infrastructure.\n\n---\n\n## 📜 License\n\nThis project uses public government data and is released under the MIT License.\n\n---\n\n## 🙌 Contributions\n\nPull requests are welcome!
