# GeoCricket
The **Geo**spatial **Cr**itical **I**nfrastructure and **C**ensus Data Stoc**k**pil**e** **T**ool
(GeoCricket) is a collection of functions that collect critical
infrastructure and Census data for use in ReNCAT, QGIS Social Burden
Calculator, or can act to infrom other place based work.
Current available servers:
* TigerWeb (Census Geometry)
* TigerWeb (ACS statistics)
* HIFLD (Infrastructure)
Current supported output file types:
* shp
* gpkg
* kml
* csv
# Disclaimer
Due to GeoCricket's reliance on external sources that may change location or availability over time,
parts of this package may break as those elements are changed remotely.
## Visuals
Starting with any GeoPandas readable format, census geometry and statistics,
and HIFLD critical infrastructure can be collected.
## Installation Process
The install described utilizes an anaconda virtual environment, and may
not be applicable to all situations, but has been known to work.
* Process seems to go smoother help if 'installation' console/terminal
window is opened in administrator mode.
* VPNs have also been known to cause installation issues.
1. Create new anaconda environment:
```
conda create -n
conda activate
```
2. Execute `conda install pip` from new environment
for simple intialization of python.
3. Execute `pip install -e .` from main repo directory to install
package and allow modifications to be applied to the code without
re-installation.
Note: If there are issues with packages not matching
hashes in 'the requirements file', Execute `python -m pip cache purge`
and try to install again.
4. Execute `conda install ipykernel` so that Jupyter Notebook demos
can run.
## Usage
Demos located in the demo folder.
Census API keys available here: `https://api.census.gov/data/key_signup.html`
Ideally, a single polygon describing an area of interest is passed into
a single function that then outputs all collected data
in usable file formats.
