cph_street_data: Cholera cases by week by street - Copenhagen 1853.

In matthew-phelps/CholeraDataDK: Cholera Case Data from Denmark mid-1800s

Description

A dataset of the weekly record of new cholera cases on each street in Copenhagen in the 1853 epidemic. Dataset also includs hospitals and streets from outside the city walls (i.e. Noerrebro). Danish letters in street names have not been convereted to standard English letters. Danish letters in quarter names have been turned into Engilsh letters: oe, ae, aa. Data was manually entered by author from source report. Please contact author with any errors or typos. NOTE: it is not currently known if hospital counts are included in the street counts and/or if street counts are included in the hospital counts. I suspect they are kept separate, but this is still being investigated.
