Focuses on creating data sets and other tools that help make understanding gerrymandering faster and easier. Designed for easy preparation to run simulation analysis with the R package redist, but is aimed at the geographic aspects of redistricting, not partitioning methods. Most of these tools are gathered from seminar papers and do not correspond to a single publication.

A very common task is aggregating block data to precincts.

# load precincts
data('va18sub')
# create block data
block <- create_block_table(state = 'VA', county = '087')
# match the geographies
matches <- geo_match(from = block, to = va18sub)
# Aggregate
prec <- block2prec(block_table = block, matches = matches)Other important tasks include breaking data into pieces by blocks underlying them.
library(geomander)
library(tidyverse)
# load precincts
data("va18sub")
# subset to target area
va18sub <- va18sub %>% filter(COUNTYFP == '087')Then we can get common block data:
And estimate down to blocks
disagg <- geo_estimate_down(from = va18sub, to = block, wts = block$vap, value = va18sub$G18USSRSTE)For more information, see the documentation and vignettes, available at https://christophertkenny.com/geomander/
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.
