Issues Using geoplot.kdeplot with geopandas

Question

Im trying to make a kdeplot using geopandas.

this is my code:

Downloading shape file

URL = "https://data.sfgov.org/api/geospatial/wkhw-cjsf?method=export&format=Shapefile"
response = requests.get(URL)
open('pd_data.zip', 'wb').write(response.content)

with zipfile.ZipFile('./pd_data.zip', 'r') as zip_ref:
    zip_ref.extractall('./ShapeFiles')

Making the geopandas data frame

data = train.groupby(['PdDistrict']).count().iloc[:,0]
data = pd.DataFrame({ "district": data.index,
                    "incidences": data.values})

california_map = str(list(pathlib.Path('./ShapeFiles').glob('*.shp'))[0])

gdf = gdp.read_file(california_map)
gdf = pd.merge(gdf, data, on = 'district')

Note: I didn't include the link to the train set because it's not important for this question(use any data you want)

This is the part that I don't get, what arguments should I pass to the kdeplot function, like where I pass the shape file and where I pass the data?

ax = gplt.kdeplot(
    data, clip=gdf.geometry,
    shade=True, cmap='Reds',
    projection=gplt.crs.AlbersEqualArea())
gplt.polyplot(boroughs, ax=ax, zorder=1)

Answer 1

• had a few challenges setting up an environment where I did not get kernel crashes. Used none wheel versions of shapely and pygeos
• a few things covered in documentation kdeplot A basic kdeplot takes pointwise data as input. You did not provide sample for data I'm not sure that it is point wise data. Have simulated point wise data, 100 points within each of the districts in referenced geometry
• I have found I cannot use clip and projection parameters together. One or the other not both
• shape file is passed to clip

import geopandas as gpd
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import geoplot as gplt
import geoplot.crs as gcrs

# setup starting point to match question
url = "https://data.sfgov.org/api/geospatial/wkhw-cjsf?method=export&format=Shapefile"
gdf = gpd.read_file(url)

# generate 100 points in each of the districts
r = np.random.RandomState(42)
N = 5000
data = pd.concat(
    [
        gpd.GeoSeries(
            gpd.points_from_xy(*[r.uniform(*g.bounds[s::2], N) for s in (0, 1)]),
            crs=gdf.crs,
        ).loc[lambda s: s.intersects(g.buffer(-0.003))]
        for _, g in gdf["geometry"].iteritems()
    ]
)
data = (
    gpd.GeoDataFrame(geometry=data)
    .sjoin(gdf)
    .groupby("district")
    .sample(100, random_state=42)
    .reset_index(drop=True)
)

ax = gplt.kdeplot(
    data,
    clip=gdf,
    fill=True,
    cmap="Reds",
    # projection=gplt.crs.AlbersEqualArea(),
)
gplt.polyplot(gdf, ax=ax, zorder=1)
