Create Dictionary

import pandas as pd
import csv 

csv_path='Data_tables_Criminal_Incidents_Visualisation_year_ending_June_2018.csv'
df=pd.read_csv(csv_path)

# sum the number of incidents recorded for each suburb
df=df.groupby(['Suburb/Town Name'])['Incidents Recorded'].agg(
    # make the numbers numeric otherwise it just concatenates strings
    lambda x: pd.to_numeric(x, errors='coerce').sum()
)

# create a dictionary, where keys are Suburb/Town Name and values are number of incidents
suburb_dict = df.to_dict()

Style Function

def style_function(feature):
    suburb = suburb_dict.get(feature['properties']['Suburb_Name'])
    return {
        'fillColor': '#gray' if suburb is None else colormap(suburb),
        'fillOpacity': 0.6,
        #borders
        'weight': 0.2,
    }

Folium Map

import folium

world_map = folium.Map(
        location=[-38.292102, 144.727880],
        zoom_start=6,
        tiles='openstreetmap'
        )

folium.GeoJson(
    data = 'vic_for_crime_2018.geojson',
    style_function = style_function    
).add_to(world_map)

Colormap

import branca

colormap = branca.colormap.linear.YlOrRd_09.scale(0, 8500)
colormap = colormap.to_step(index=[0, 1000, 3000, 5000, 8500])
colormap.caption = 'Incidents of Crime in Victoria (year ending June 2018)'
colormap.add_to(world_map)

world_map.save('vic_final.html')
