Kick Starter data analysis

The dataset is available on Kaggle. I'm focusing on the most backed project data file.

The top 5 locations in terms of the number of projects:
San Francisco, CA                       280
Los Angeles, CA                          271
New York, NY                               212
Seattle, WA                                  147
London, UK                                  132

The top 5 project types:
​Product Design                            773
Tabletop Games                          742
Video Games                               524
Hardware                                     182
Technology                                  152

The average goal for the different project types:
video games = $127,020
​hardware = $71,512
technology = $68,211
product design = $39,572
table top games = $26,657


Product design is the number one project type in terms of the number of projects for San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and London but not Seattle. In Seattle the number one project type is Tabletop Games.

In general games, video and table top, make up a sizeable proportion of the total amount pledged. The only other non-US city to make it into the top ten, besides London, is Toronto, which just gets in at number ten.
