To add a new repository or dataset, simply fork this repository and edit your forked copy's `readme.md` text to include a title, brief description and URL to data source and/or API.\n\n\nPlease note that this list is meant as a starting point to identify what data is *publicly available online* already, regardless of the format or accessibility. This includes PDFs, HTML tables, JSON, XML and, preferrably, CSV filetypes. This does not include any data  for which a special request is required or payment for data access is charged.\n\n\n\n-\n\n### Existing Datasets/Repositories in Savannah MSA\n#### Crime and Safety\n##### Weekly and annual reports by crime type, neighborhood and precincts available as PDFs [here](http://scmpd.org/annual-crime-report/)\n\n+ Using [Tabula](http://tabula.technology/), I have scraped the 2015 Annual Part 1 Crime data as a CSV then added to a Google Sheet [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ik8Jm6rRQCScTMMIs9m3heag6GRUsQ0hD9oE086IPS0/edit?usp=sharing). \n\n+ In addition, I was able to find the corresponding geospatial polygon KML  files for each SCMPD-defined neighborhood, along with precinct-level polygons,  from SAGISServices  [here](http://sagisservices.thempc.org/saint/rest/services/OpenData/SCMPD/MapServer)\n\n+ Using CARTO.com currently to wrangle messy KML data and pair up neighborhood polygons with data from all 120 or so neighborhoods.\n\n+ This method is replicable for all crime data from SCMPD if they cannot provide data as CSV or JSON.\n\n\n### Property Transfers\n\nTODO\n\n\n### Economy and Development\n\nSEDA has a rich repository of open data available for download [here](http://www.seda.org/Data-Sets).\n\n### Population and Demographics\n\nTODO\n### Environment and Climate Change\n\n+ [Savannah Coastal Digital Elevation Model](https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/savannah-georgia-coastal-digital-elevation-model) - Data from NOAA and indexed on [data.gov](http://data.gov) -- High-level elevation models available.
