Case Selection

Here I will make a number of interactive plots to help identify cases that are either on the line or off the line.

I will use the suburb_final_clean_data.csv for the analysis. This is the cleaned-up data file that can be found in the cloud_16Jan_2019 R project file.

Plots

These plots are based on the analysis done in the cloud_16Jan_2019.Rproj project file. That project contains the suburb_final.R file which brings in and cleans all of the various data sets. That file also explains the data sources.

The following code loads the libraries and brings in the data file.

library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
library(sjPlot)
library(plotly)
library(stargazer)
completedData_2 <- read.csv("suburb_final_clean_data.csv")

Regression Table

Here is the logit table. For the first column, I remove the total storm damage variable. In the larger model it had a coefficient of zero, but was significant.

mylogit3 <- glm(susplanv ~ per_bach + per_carb + per_walk + hh_income + X_mean + pop_dens + totalstormdamage + per_bike + carbonnum + per_dem + sprawlindex, data = completedData_2, family = "binomial")
mylogit2 <- glm(susplanv ~ per_bach + per_carb + per_walk + hh_income + X_mean + pop_dens + per_bike + carbonnum + per_dem + sprawlindex, data = completedData_2, family = "binomial")
stargazer(mylogit2, mylogit3, type='text')

Sprawl Index

The Sprawl Index was conceived by Reid Ewing and looks at a host of factors such as street connectivity, population density, and walkability.

The following code will take the bottom ten, middle ten, and top ten observations that are sustainable suburbs based on their Sprawl Index score.
