## Toronto Dashboard

### Data Sources

| Source | Data | Format |
|--------|------|--------|
| City of Toronto Open Data | Neighbourhoods (158), Census profiles, Parks, Schools, Childcare, TTC | GeoJSON, CSV, API |
| Toronto Police Service | Crime rates, MCI, Shootings | CSV, API |
| CMHC | Rental Market Survey | CSV |

### Geographic Model

```
City of Toronto Neighbourhoods (158) ← Primary analysis unit
CMHC Zones (~20) ← Rental data (Census Tract aligned)
```

### Dashboard Tabs

| Tab | Choropleth Metric | Supporting Charts |
|-----|-------------------|-------------------|
| Overview | Livability score | Top/Bottom 10 bar, Income vs Safety scatter |
| Housing | Affordability index | Rent trend line, Tenure breakdown bar |
| Safety | Crime rate per 100K | Crime breakdown bar, Crime trend line |
| Demographics | Median income | Age distribution, Population density bar |
| Amenities | Amenity index | Amenity radar, Transit accessibility bar |

### Star Schema

| Table | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `dim_neighbourhood` | Dimension | 158 neighbourhoods with geometry |
| `dim_time` | Dimension | Date dimension |
| `dim_cmhc_zone` | Dimension | ~20 CMHC zones with geometry |
| `fact_census` | Fact | Census indicators by neighbourhood |
| `fact_crime` | Fact | Crime stats by neighbourhood |
| `fact_rentals` | Fact | Rental data by CMHC zone |
| `fact_amenities` | Fact | Amenity counts by neighbourhood |

### dbt Project: `portfolio`

**Model Structure:**
```
dbt/models/
├── shared/                 # Cross-domain dimensions (stg_dimensions__time)
├── staging/toronto/        # Toronto staging models
├── intermediate/toronto/   # Toronto intermediate models
└── marts/toronto/          # Toronto mart tables
```

| Layer | Naming | Example |
|-------|--------|---------|
| Shared | `stg_dimensions__*` | `stg_dimensions__time` |
| Staging | `stg_{source}__{entity}` | `stg_toronto__neighbourhoods` |
| Intermediate | `int_{domain}__{transform}` | `int_neighbourhood__demographics` |
| Marts | `mart_{domain}` | `mart_neighbourhood_overview` |

---

## Tech Stack

| Layer | Technology | Version |
|-------|------------|---------|
| Database | PostgreSQL + PostGIS | 16.x |
| Validation | Pydantic | 2.x |
| ORM | SQLAlchemy | 2.x |
| Transformation | dbt-postgres | 1.7+ |
| Data Processing | Pandas, GeoPandas | Latest |
| Visualization | Dash + Plotly | 2.14+ |
| UI Components | dash-mantine-components | Latest |
| Testing | pytest | 7.0+ |
| Python | 3.11+ | Via pyenv |

---

## Branching Strategy

| Branch | Purpose | Deploys To |
|--------|---------|------------|
| `main` | Production releases | VPS (production) |
| `staging` | Pre-production testing | VPS (staging) |
| `development` | Active development | Local only |

**Rules:**
- Feature branches from `development`: `feature/{sprint}-{description}`
- Merge into `development` when complete
- `development` → `staging` → `main` for releases
- Never delete `development`

---

## Code Standards

### Type Hints (Python 3.10+)

```python
def process(items: list[str], config: dict[str, int] | None = None) -> bool:
    ...
```

### Imports

| Context | Style |
|---------|-------|
| Same directory | `from .module import X` |
| Sibling directory | `from ..schemas.model import Y` |
| External | `import pandas as pd` |

### Error Handling

```python
class PortfolioError(Exception):
    """Base exception."""

class ParseError(PortfolioError):
    """Data parsing failed."""

class ValidationError(PortfolioError):
    """Validation failed."""

class LoadError(PortfolioError):
    """Database load failed."""
```
