Lab 02 - get_acs() issue #1

Open brittanyharb opened 4 years ago

brittanyharb commented 4 years ago

So I am trying to use the get_acs function to download my data, however I keep getting this:

Getting data from the 2014-2018 5-year ACS Error in get_acs() : argument "geography" is missing, with no default

I don't see any specification on what to put for Geography. Please advise! I do understand that I have to specify the years in that function, but I'm just not sure what to do for Geography.

Geography is the unit of analysis (state, country, tract, etc.).

Would need to see some code to know what you need to change.

Oh okay! I guess I was just wondering what level of data we are using. But it would be by county, correct?

I did it that way and RStudio says it is now loading the data.

I assigned Var as well, but here is the code and what RStudio says. Is this correct?

When I do head(CenDF) %>% pander() I get the following:

Correct:

The topic for our analysis will be to compare the house-price-to-income ratio across US counties and over time.

Woohoo! Thank you!
