Working with multiple datasets

You can load as many different datasets as you’d like from data.world and work with them together. Here we’ve used the load_dataset method to bring in two separate datasets, assigning them each to a variable.

We’ll leave it to you to create a dataframe for each using the dataframes property, and then merge the two dataframes together on the state and stusab fields.

After merging them together, add a new citystate field to your merged dataset, populating it with the concatenated values of the city and state_name fields, separated by , resulting in a city, state format.

Create a police_shootings dataframe from the fatal_police_shootings_data table in int_dataset
Create a state_abbrvs dataframe from the statesfipscodes table in fipsCodes_dataset
Merge the two dataframes together on the state and stusab fields using the merge() function. Assign to merged_dataframe.
Add a citystate column to your merged dataframe, populating it with the concatinated values from the city and state_name columns, separated by ', '.
Print first 5 rows of merged dataframe
