Sum dataframe values in for loop inside a for loop

Question

I have a large polygon file, small polygon file and points file. What I do here is loop through large polygons to find which small polygons intersect. Then calculate the area of each small polygon within the large one. And then I loop through the small polygons to find points statistics in each of them.

I have found number_of_somethin value in each small polygon. And the question would be how to can I sum all number_of_somethin small polygons values within the large polygon and store the results in original large_polygon file as a new column, let's say large_polygon['smth_sum']?

With df_res_2.loc[idx, 'smth'] = number_of_somethin I get number_of_somethin values in each small polygon inside the large ones. Now I need to sum them in large_polygon['smth_sum']

Note: FID is the id for large polygons and ID is the id for small polygons

import geopandas as gpd

small_polygon = gpd.read_file(r'R:\...\small.shp')
large_polygon = gpd.read_file(r'R:\...\large.shp')
points = gpd.read_file(r'R:\...\points.shp')

SmallJoin =gpd.sjoin(small_polygon, large_polygon)[['FID', 'ID', 'someValue','geometry']]

for i in large_polygon.index:
    df_i = SmallJoin[SmallJoin['FID'] == i]

    # i do something here, f.e. calculate small polgyon area
    df_res = gpd.overlay(large_polygon, df_i, how='intersection')
    df_res['area'] = round((df_res.apply(lambda row: row.geometry.area, axis=1)), 4)

    # now i know area for each small polygon within large polygon
    df_res_2 = df_res[df_res['FID_1'] == i]

    # now point statistics in small polygons
    PointsJoin =gpd.sjoin(points, df_res)[['ID','someAttribute', 'someAttribute2','geometry']]

    for idx, val in df_res_2['ID'].items():
        df_idx = PointsJoin[PointsJoin['ID'] == val]
        number_of_somethin = df_idx ['someAttribute'] + 121 + df_idx['someAttribute2']
        df_res_2.loc[idx, 'smth'] = number_of_somethin

I had a few ideas how to do this, but none of them are not wokring, so I assume that there is some other way.

large_polygon.loc[i, 'smth_sum'] = df_res_2['smth']
large_polygon.loc[i, 'smth_sum'] = df_res_2['smth'].sum()

large_polygon['smth_sum'] = large_polygon[large_polygon['FID'] == df_res_2['FID_1'].sum()]

you describe three GeoDataFrame
1. large - have used country boundaries for this
2. small - have used UTM zone boundaries for this
3. point - have used randomly generated points that mostly overlap 2
you define that you want two outputs for each large geometry (country here)
- area - sum of intersection area of each small geometry
- value - sum of value of points that is within a small geometry that spatially joins to a large geometry
all of the above can be achieved with spatial joins and pandas merge() and groupby()
to make this clearer - also included a way to visualise all of this

import geopandas as gpd
import shapely.geometry
import requests
import numpy as np
import plotly.express as px

# get some sample data....
# fmt: off
gdf_utm = gpd.GeoDataFrame.from_features(requests.get("https://opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/b294795270aa4fb3bd25286bf09edc51_0.geojson").json()).set_crs("EPSG:4326")
gdf_countries = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path("naturalearth_lowres"))

large_polygon = gdf_countries.loc[lambda d: d["iso_a3"].isin(["BEL", "LUX", "NLD", "DEU", "AUT"])]
# large_polygon.boundary.plot()

small_polygon = gpd.sjoin(gdf_utm, large_polygon).loc[:, gdf_utm.columns].groupby(["FID", "ZONE"]).first().reset_index()
# fmt: on

# some points within geometry of small_polygon
b = small_polygon.total_bounds
POINTS = 10
points = gpd.GeoDataFrame(
    geometry=[
        shapely.geometry.Point(x, y)
        for x, y in zip(
            np.random.uniform(*b[[0, 2]], POINTS),
            np.random.uniform(*b[[1, 3]], POINTS),
        )
    ],
    data={"value": np.arange(POINTS)},
    crs="EPSG:4326",
)

# spatial small to large with geometry from large
SmallJoin = gpd.sjoin(small_polygon, large_polygon).merge(
    large_polygon["geometry"],
    left_on="index_right",
    right_index=True,
    suffixes=("", "_large"),
)
SmallJoin["area"] = SmallJoin.intersection(gpd.GeoSeries(SmallJoin["geometry_large"])).area

# get sums of area of overlap and sum of values from points
Final = (
    SmallJoin.rename(columns={"index_right": "index_large"})
    .sjoin(points)
    .groupby("index_large")
    .agg({"area": "sum", "value": "sum", "geometry_large": "first"})
)
