population.py

The population object stores detailed Census tract-level population data for the environmental justice exposure calculations and the health impact calculations from an input population dataset.

Inputs

• file_path: the file path of the raw population data
• load_file: a Boolean indicating whether or not the file should be loaded (for debugging)
• verbose: a Boolean indicating whether or not detailed logging statements should be printed
• debug_mode: a Boolean indicating whether or not to output debug statements

Attributes

• valid_file: a Boolean indicating whether or not the file provided is valid
• geometry: geospatial information associated with the emissions input
• pop_all: complete, detailed population data from the source
• pop_geo: a geodataframe with population IDs and spatial information
• crs: the inherent coordinate reference system associated with the emissions input
• pop_exp: a geodataframe containing the population information with associated spatial information, summarized across age bins
• pop_hia: a geodataframe containing the population information with associated spatial information, broken out by age bin

Internal Functions

• check_path: checks to see if the file exists at the path specified and returns whether the file is valid
• load_population: loads the population data based on the file extension
• load_shp: loads the population shapefile data using geopandas and post-processes
• load_feather: loads the population feather data using geopandas and post-processes
• make_pop_exp: makes the exposure population data frame by summing across age bins
• make_pop_hia: makes the health impact assessment population data frame by retaining key information

External Functions

• project_pop: projects the population data to a new coordinate reference system
• allocate_population: reallocates population into new geometry using a spatial intersect calculated by intersect_geometries
