So 35 cities?
Interesting read none the less. Good to see independent theaters are still doing well.
- chadmhorner 8y agoYep! Just those 35. Main reason being that it’s actually a pretty manual effort to assign theaters to cities, because there could be a bunch of different “cities”, as Fandango classifies them, that are all really the same city - like for Miami as an example, you can have Miami and Coral Gables and Miami Beach, which you’d really want to classify all as Miami. Long story short, didn’t want to go to that process for too many more cities haha.
- 24gttghh 8y agoSo what about the data for states without a city of >500K people? For instance, the largest city in Wyoming is Cheyenne and it's only 95K...
- chadmhorner 8y agoOh sorry, should have been more clear: the analysis of "Most Expensive" and "Least Expensive" cities was limited to cities with populations over 500K. But for the main analysis we scraped by zip code.
- 24gttghh 8y agoNo worries, thank you for clarifying!
- tehlike 8y agoZipcode?
- dajohnson89 8y agoMaybe theres a mapping somewhere, between List<Zipcode> <-> Metropolitan area.
