Exploring US Census Data
Details
In this meeting / tutorial we'll get some hands on practice reading US census data into R, followed by some data analysis and visualization. Page Piccinini will be leading the tutorial.
Come with your computer and the following already done. To query census data you'll need an API key. You can get one here: https://api.census.gov/data/key_signup.html . We'll be focusing on the package "tidycensus" version 0.4.1 or greater. In addition to "tidycensus" be sure you have "tidyverse" and "albersusa" installed.
