Specify data types
When loading a flat file, pandas infers the best data type for each column. Sometimes its guesses are off, particularly for numbers that represent groups or qualities instead of quantities.
Looking at the data dictionary for vt_tax_data_2016.csv reveals two such columns. The agi_stub column contains numbers that correspond to income categories, and zipcode has 5-digit values that should be strings -- treating them as integers means we lose leading 0s, which are meaningful. Let's specify the correct data types with the dtype argument.
pandas has been imported for you as pd.
