load_acs_vars() calls tidycensus::load_variables() and then combines the
returned data frame with the Census Reporter metadata from
label_acs_table_metadata(). The function can optionally filter the variable
definitions to a set of tables and variables or drop variables from the
results.
Usage
load_acs_vars(
year = 2021,
survey = "acs5",
cache = TRUE,
variable_col = "variable",
geography_levels = c("block", "block group", "tract", "county", "state", "us"),
table = NULL,
vars = NULL,
drop_vars = NULL
)Arguments
- year
Sample year (between 2006 and 2021).
- survey
Survey, "acs5", "acs3", or "acs1".
- cache
Whether you would like to cache the dataset for future access, or load the dataset from an existing cache. Defaults to FALSE.
- variable_col
Variable column name. Defaults to "variable"
- geography_levels
Ordered vector of geography levels used to convert the geography column returned by
tidycensus::load_variables()into a factor. Default: c("block", "block group", "tract", "county", "state", "us")- table
Table ID to return.
- vars, drop_vars
Variable IDs to keep or to drop. If table is supplied (or if data only contains data for a single table), numeric values are allowed for vars and drop_vars (e.g. if table is "B14001" and vars is 2 data is filtered to variable "B14001_002").
