How?

With a combination of:

• Beautiful Soup, to parse the original website
• GeoPandas, for geographic pre-processing
• Dash, for creating the website
• Mapbox, for interactive maps

With dash we use a few notable features, techniques and third-party libraries:

• dash-bootstrap-components, to make pages responsive and pretty
• client side callbacks, for network performance reasons
• store component, for network performance reasons
• bs-breakpoints, to tweak layout for different breakpoints
