Several tools were used to create this project. Initally the 3M rows of data was imported to IrisCouch to do some map-reduce manipulation. from there Python was used to create various JSON and CSV files as data sources for the website. Python was also used to create some map visuals. The website uses D3 libraries to create charts and interactive maps.
