Suggested datasets from the Chicago data portal:

• Crime reports in Chicago, August 2014
  • You may need to reduce the number of columns and/or rows to fit it into CartoDB
  • Good variables to cluster on: primary_type, arrest, location_description
• Food inspections in Chicago, 2014 to date
  • You will need to reduce the size to fit it into CartoDB
  • Interesting variables to use: facility_type, risk (predicted risk of failing inspection), results
• New businesses in Hyde Park and surrounding neighborhoods, 2014 to date
  • Very few records
  • Can you say something interesting about where they’re opening?
• Rats spotted in Hyde Park and surrounding neighborhoods, 2014 to date
  • Also very few cases (thankfully)
  • Can you show something interesting? In how many places did they bait for rats?
