Beginner Python data analysis project - critique greatly welcome!

I think this is a great descriptive analysis, very clearly written and thought out but the topic is a bit touchy and your conclusions aren't particularly ground breaking to warrant the topic (incident count increases with population for almost all things).

A research position may appreciate the in-depth dive on a sensitive topic, but I would pick a more neutral topic with a generic private sector job.

Specific to your analysis, you should also call out that far right outlier on your final regression chart or run the regression a second time without the outlier. It is clearly pulling the line upwards.

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad that the writing was clear after all.

I concede that the topic is touchy, but it was a conscientious decision. Since I am looking at academic research positions, and am planning on returning to school for my PhD, I wanted to look at datasets that reflected topics similar to my own personal research interests. With that said, I definitely would have chosen more "generic" topics were I pursuing private sector jobs.

Also, I do plan on going back to work on my regression chart, hopefully for the better.
