Python – Center align column headers of a Pandas DataFrame

To center align column headers, use the display.colheader_justify and ‘center’ value. Import the require library −

import pandas as pd

Create a DataFrame with 2 columns −

dataFrame = pd.DataFrame(
   {
      "Car": ['BMW', 'Lexus', 'Tesla', 'Mustang', 'Mercedes', 'Jaguar'],
      "Reg_Price": [7000.5057, 1500, 5000.9578, 8000, 9000.75768, 6000]

   }
)

Now, center align the column headers −

pd.set_option('display.colheader_justify', 'center')

Example

Following is the code −

import pandas as pd

# Create DataFrame
dataFrame = pd.DataFrame(
   {
      "Car": ['BMW', 'Lexus', 'Tesla', 'Mustang', 'Mercedes', 'Jaguar'],
      "Reg_Price": [7000.5057, 1500, 5000.9578, 8000, 9000.75768, 6000]

   }
)

print"DataFrame ...\n",dataFrame

pd.set_option('display.colheader_justify', 'center')
print"\nUpdated dataframe with center aligned column headers...\n", dataFrame

Output

This will produce the following output −

DataFrame ...
         Car   Reg_Price
0       BMW   7000.50570
1     Lexus   1500.00000
2     Tesla   5000.95780
3   Mustang   8000.00000
4  Mercedes   9000.75768
5    Jaguar   6000.00000

Updated dataframe with center aligned column headers...
        Car   Reg_Price
0       BMW  7000.50570
1     Lexus  1500.00000
2     Tesla  5000.95780
3   Mustang  8000.00000
4  Mercedes  9000.75768
5    Jaguar  6000.00000
