Visualizing Crime in Los Angeles on a Map using Geopandas.

One of the best ways to present data is visually and numbers by themselves can overwhelm people.

GeoPandas is an open-source project to add support for geographic data to pandas objects. It currently implements Geoseries and GeoDataFrame types which are subclasses of pandas.series and pandas.DataFrame( stores geometry columns and perform spatials operations) respectively.
GeoDataFrame is a combination of pandas.Series with traditional data (numerical,boolean,text) and geopandas.
GeoSeries with geometries, with geometries (points,polygons etc).
GeoPandas objects can act on shapely geometry objects and perform geometric operations.
