Hi @JPRayes ,
You are working with a state with a code that starts with "0". You will need to convert the data to numeric so it recognizes the need for a "0". For example a state with a code of "04" is "4" in the dataset. Setting it as numeric assures it is a "04".
Use this code (this is for Jackson, Mississippi, be sure to update with your code for Denver): can merge an sf object and data.frame jax.pop$GEOID <- as.numeric(jax.pop$GEOID) # this makes the data numeric jax <- merge( jax.pop, census.dat, by.x="GEOID", by.y="tractid" )
make sure there are no empty polygons jax <- jax[ ! st_is_empty( jax ) , ] head(jax)
@JasonSills Thank you! and thanks for covering it in the review session.
Another issue...
So I'm trying to Transform the Shapefile into A Dorling Cartogram
Here's my code:
convert sf map object to an sp version
den.sp <- as_Spatial( den ) class( den.sp )
Here's the error:
Error in h(simpleError(msg, call)) : error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function 'addAttrToGeom': subscript out of bounds
All other prior code appears to be working:
Here's the code leading up to the error:
URL <- "https://github.com/DS4PS/cpp-529-master/raw/master/data/ltdb_std_2010_sample.rds" census.dat <- readRDS(gzcon(url( URL )))
can merge an sf object and data.frame
den <- merge( den.pop, census.dat, by.x="GEOID", by.y="tractid" )
make sure there are no empty polygons
den <- den[ ! st_is_empty(den) , ]
