14 — Methodology

How I Built This

Data pipeline: Crash records queried from Austin Open Data Socrata API (dataset y2wy-tgr5), paginated at 50,000 records per call. 11,911 records for 2024. Coordinates are native WGS84.
District assignment: Austin data includes council district via Socrata computed region field. 10 single-member districts, each with approximately 105,000 residents.
Data limitations: Austin Open Data does not expose DUI/impairment, hit-and-run, or speed-involved flags. Pedestrian and cyclist involvement is derived from mode-specific injury counts and the units_involved field. Sections for impaired driving, speed, and hit-and-run are limited or unavailable.
