Data

• Student loan data
• Census data for geo-locations of zip codes

Instructions

1. Normalize to commas using libreoffice

Odd notes

1. (data.gov)[http://www.data.gov/] is freaking amazing
2. For some reason INTPTLONG in the CSV data has a bunch of spaces after it. I had to manually remove that. Not sure when that occured, or if it came that way
