Context

It is a well known fact that Millenials LOVE Avocado Toast. It's also a well known fact that all Millenials live in their parents basements.

Clearly, they aren't buying home because they are buying too much Avocado Toast!

But maybe there's hope... if a Millenial could find a city with cheap avocados, they could live out the Millenial American Dream.

This data was downloaded from the Hass Avocado Board website in May of 2018 & compiled into a single CSV. Here's how the Hass Avocado Board describes the data on their website:

The table below represents weekly 2018 retail scan data for National retail volume (units) and price. Retail scan data comes directly from retailers’ cash registers based on actual retail sales of Hass avocados. Starting in 2013, the table below reflects an expanded, multi-outlet retail data set. Multi-outlet reporting includes an aggregation of the following channels: grocery, mass, club, drug, dollar and military. The Average Price (of avocados) in the table reflects a per unit (per avocado) cost, even when multiple units (avocados) are sold in bags. The Product Lookup codes (PLU’s) in the table are only for Hass avocados. Other varieties of avocados (e.g. greenskins) are not included in this table.

Some relevant columns in the dataset:

• Date - The date of the observation
• AveragePrice - the average price of a single avocado
• type - conventional or organic
• year - the year
• Region - the city or region of the observation
• Total Volume - Total number of avocados sold
• 4046 - Total number of avocados with PLU 4046 sold
• 4225 - Total number of avocados with PLU 4225 sold
• 4770 - Total number of avocados with PLU 4770 sold

UPD

Updated on Feb 26, 2021 with the latest HAB data for 2020 (up to 2020-11-29). Newer data, incl. for 2021, have not yet been published by the HAB.

Context

This is an updated version of the avocado dataset originally compiled from the Hass Avocado Board (or HAB, for short) data and published on Kaggle by Justin Kiggins in 2018. The dataset features historical data on avocado prices and sales volume in multiple cities, states, and regions of the USA.

Content

This updated version contains data from 4 January 2015 up to 17 May 2020, whereas the original dataset uploaded by Justin provides data only for the time span from 2015 to the beginning of 2018. The updated dataset was created by downloading the data for years 2018 to 2020 from the Hass Avocado Board website in August 2020, preprocessing it and merging it with Justin's dataset.

The new data was downloaded from this page of the HAB's website which allows downloading the data for years 2017 -- 2020 (as of August 2020). To download some new data, scroll down to the bottom of the section "Totals by PLU" and click the "Download 20XX Weekly Retail Volume & Price Report" button (the "XX" are the two last digits of the year you are downloading the data for).

Notebooks for creating and updating this dataset

This dataset was created using this Colab notebook. If you want to add even more fresh data to this dataset, you can download the new data from the HAB's website and add it to this dataset using this Colab notebook.

Difference from the original dataset

Please note that, besides containing more data, this dataset differs from the original one in the following points:

1. All column names were converted to "snake_case" for more consistency in naming and to provide access to column values using a period, e.g., df.average_price.

2. The column region was renamed to geography (as it is called in the HAB's data) to avoid the confusion between actual regions (e.g., West, Midsouth, etc.), cities (e.g., San Francisco, Atlanta, etc.), states (e.g., California, South Carolina, etc.), and other geographical names of the US.

3. For the data to be merged, the geographical names in the region column of the original dataset had to match the corresponding geographical names of the new HAB's data. For the sake of readability and clarity, the original HAB's naming style of geographical names was chosen. For that reason, some of the geographical names in the region column of the original dataset were renamed, for instance, BaltimoreWashington was renamed to Baltimore/Washington, DallasFtWorth was renamed to Dallas/Ft. Worth, TotalUS was renamed to Total U.S., and so on.

4. The data is already sorted by date and geographical names.

Description of columns

Please refer to the main page of the original dataset.

A note on the data

Please note that, according to this page, the Total U.S. data is somewhat aggregated for the following 8 geographical areas of the US: California, Great Lakes, Midsouth, Northeast, Plains, Southeast, South Central, and West. However, averaging data for these regions and areas does not result in the entries equal to those of the Total U.S. data, so be careful with that.
