# adult-census-income

## Overview 

The adult census income dataset is used for prediction tasks to determine whether a person makes over $50K a year.
It can also be used to explore biases in ML algorithms.

## Dataset Details

The original dataset, the [Adult Census Income](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/uciml/adult-census-income), was created by Barry Becker from the 1994 Census database (USA), 
to explore biases in ML algorithms. The prediction task of this dataset is to determine whether a person makes over 50K a year.
This data was extracted from the 1994 [Census Bureau database](https://www.census.gov/en.html) by Ronny Kohavi and Barry Becker (Data Mining and Visualization, Silicon Graphics). A set of reasonably clean records was extracted using the following conditions: ((AAGE>16) && (AGI>100) && (AFNLWGT>1) && (HRSWK>0)).
