Exercise: From GeoJSON to CSV to SHP using Pandas

In this exercise, you will explore Pandas using an example of addresses stored in a GeoJSON file. The address file is from openaddresses.io and represents a county in Pennsylvania. You will use the basic features of Pandas and Notebooks to transform data from the raw format supplied by OpenAddresses into a feature class. Along the way, you will create maps displaying the address data.

Pandas can be used in a standalone Python script, but for this example we will use a Notebook, a common method.

1. Open ArcGIS Pro and start a new project, then add a new Notebook from the Insert tab. Rename the Notebook to Chapter8.
2. In the first cell, you will import arcpy and arcgis, as well as pandas. Type in the following:

   import arcgis, arcpy
   import pandas as pd
   

3. In the same cell, you will read the cameron-addresses-county.geojson file into a Pandas DataFrame. You will open the file and assign it to a data...
