baf

The goal of baf is to provide lightweight block assignment (and equivalence) files from the US Census Bureau.

Installation

You can install the development version of baf like so:

pak::pak('christopherkenny/baf')

Example

The workhorse function for baf is the baf() function.

library(baf)

baf(state = 'NM', year = 2024, geographies = 'cd')
#> $CD118
#> # A tibble: 107,215 × 2
#>    GEOID           CDFP 
#>    <chr>           <chr>

Cache

By default, baf loads files to a temporary directory. To retain files across sessions, set the cache_to argument to a directory of your choosing. You can also set options(baf.use_cache = TRUE) to create a user-level cache that can persist across projects.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
