Get data from CSVs

In this exercise, you'll create a data frame from a CSV file. The United States makes available CSV files containing tax data by ZIP or postal code, allowing us to analyze income information in different parts of the country. We'll focus on a subset of the data, vt_tax_data_2016.csv, which has select tax statistics by ZIP code in Vermont in 2016.

To load the data, you'll need to import the pandas library, then read vt_tax_data_2016.csv and assign the resulting data frame to a variable. Then we'll have a look at the data.
