Overview & Objectives

This GitHub project analyzes demographic census data using Python and Pandas. The analysis answers practical questions about age, education, race, salary groups, working hours, occupation, and country-level income distribution. The project is relevant for the portfolio because it shows core data analysis skills: reading structured data, filtering records, grouping data, calculating percentages, and producing accurate summary insights from a real-world demographic dataset.

Project Goal

Use Python to analyze demographic data and answer clear questions about income, education, work patterns, and population groups.

The Business Problem

The dataset had many demographic fields and the goal was to convert raw census records into clear answers about income, education, race, occupation, and work patterns.
Methodology

My Approach

  • 1Loaded and explored the demographic dataset with Pandas.
  • 2Grouped and filtered data by race, education, salary, country, occupation, and working hours.
  • 3Calculated percentages and summary statistics.
  • 4Structured the analysis so each business-style question returns a clear result.
Implementation

Roadmap Execution

Loaded the census demographic data into Pandas.

Data Exploration

Reviewed columns such as age, education, salary, occupation, race, sex, and country.

Grouped Analysis

Used grouping and filtering to answer demographic questions.

Percentage Calculations

Calculated education, salary, and country-level percentages.

Result Validation

Checked outputs against expected analytical results.
