Permits by Zip Code

Looking at the dataset, my first question was: which zip code has been filmed the most? Using Python, I looped through the data and created a dictionary showing the count of film permits by zip code. Initially I was surprised to see that the top zip codes were 11222 in Greenpoint (7,818 permits) and 11101 in Long Island City (6,175). But, remembering that Silvercup Studios is in Long Island City, I did some research and determined that both of these areas contain a number of production facilities. According to IMDB, some notable recent productions from Greenpoint include Mr. Robot and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, while recent productions in Long Island City include Pose and (of course!) Law & Order: Organized Crime.
