Analyse this data set and provide visual insightful stats

The dataset contains information about the 50 states in the United States, including their abbreviations, capitals, and regions. Here is a preview of the dataset:

Next, let's analyze and visualize some insightful statistics from this dataset.
The dataset contains information about the 50 states in the United States, including their abbreviations, capitals, and regions. We visualized the number of states in each region using a bar chart. The chart shows the distribution of states across different regions, providing a clear insight into how states are grouped regionally.

Visualise and create an actual map

We visualized the state capitals on a map of the United States. The map shows the locations of the capitals, providing a geographical perspective of the dataset.

add estimate population

Could you provide the population data for each state?
To add population estimates to the map, we need the population data for each state. If you have this data, please provide it so we can incorporate it into our analysis and visualization.

I don't have the population data

No problem! I can use publicly available data to get the population estimates for each state. I'll fetch the data and then integrate it with our existing dataset.
It appears that the merge did not work as expected. This might be due to a mismatch between the state abbreviations and the state codes in the population data.
I will correct this by mapping the state codes to their respective abbreviations and then merging the data again.
We successfully integrated population estimates into the dataset and visualized the state capitals on a map of the United States. The map now includes markers scaled by population size, providing a geographical perspective along with population insights.
If you have any more questions or need further analysis, feel free to ask!

Continue the analysis

Let's continue by performing some additional analysis on the dataset. Here are a few potential analyses we can perform:
  1. Population Distribution by Region: Analyze the population distribution across different regions (West, South, Midwest, Northeast).
  2. Top 10 Most Populous States: Identify and visualize the top 10 most populous states.
  3. Population vs. State Capital: Analyze if there is any correlation between the population of a state and its capital city.
Let's start with the population distribution by region.
The bar chart above shows the population distribution across different regions in the United States. The South and West regions have the highest populations, while the Northeast and Midwest regions have relatively lower populations.
Next, let's identify and visualize the top 10 most populous states.
