acs_table_variables() helps to make a vector of variable ID values based on
a table ID string. The returned variable IDs use the format returned by
tidycensus::get_acs(), e.g. "table_id_line_number" where the
line_number is a width 3 string prefixed by "0". If variables is NULL, the
function calls get_acs_metadata() with metadata = "column" and returns
all available variables for the table for the supplied year and survey. Note
that the sep and width parameters should not be changed if you are
working with data from the {tidycensus} package.
Usage
acs_table_variables(
table = NULL,
variables = NULL,
data = NULL,
survey = "acs5",
year = 2021,
sep = "_",
width = 3,
error_call = caller_env()
)Arguments
- table
An ACS table ID string.
- variables
A numeric vector corresponding to the line number of the variables.
- data
If data is provided and table is
NULL, table is set based on the unique values in the "table_id" column of data. If data contains more than one table_id value, the function will error- survey
Survey, "acs5", "acs3", or "acs1".
- year
Sample year (between 2006 and 2021).
- sep
A separator character between the table ID string and variable ID values.
- width
Variable ID suffix width.
- error_call
The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g.
caller_env(). The function will be mentioned in error messages as the source of the error. See thecallargument ofabort()for more information.
