`pd.NA` when it replaces a value in a column, changes its type to "object" · Issue #44199 · pandas-dev/pandas · GitHub

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

import pandas as pd

mock_data = pd.DataFrame({
    'date': ['0', '1', '2', '3'],
    'value': [1, 2, 1, 1.5]
})
assert pd.api.types.is_numeric_dtype(mock_data.value)  # passes

mock_data_pd_na.loc[2, 'value'] = pd.NA
assert pd.api.types.is_numeric_dtype(mock_data.value)  # breaks

Changing one value in a column with an NA/NULL should not change column's data type. That seems reasonable. Also, it seems the functionality is already there. I am not entirely sure if this is a bug or a feature.

Essentially it is due to the default assignment of a column type, which is float64 not pd.Float64Dtype(). I am not sure if the migration is on the roadmap, but this bug could be an argument in its favor.

mock_data = pd.DataFrame({
    'date': ['0', '1', '2', '3'],
    'value': [1, 2, 1, 1.5]
})
mock_data.value = mock_data.value.astype(pd.Float64Dtype())  # this should happen by default
mock_data.value.dtype  # Float64Dtype()

mock_data.loc[2, 'value'] = pd.NA
assert pd.api.types.is_numeric_dtype(mock_data.value)  # still passes
mock_data.value.dtype  # Float64Dtype()
