I made maps of homes in Sarasota using the ggmap and viridis packages. The roads and coast shapefiles were downloaded from the Explore Sarasota County website, and the data I used was downloaded from the Sarasota County Accessor’s website. The points on the map are the exact location of the addresses in the data. I found the coordinates using the geocoding function in ggmap, which runs on Google Maps api(s).

I used the data to make a map of pools in Sarasota. There is clustering around some areas of the city, but it is difficult to know if this is due to sampling biases in the dataset or a genuine pattern in the city.

I also made a map of home according to the number of bedrooms it has. Most homes have about three bedrooms, but along the coasts we see a more diverse array of homes.
