Obtain population estimates for FL at age year resolution #34

Closed andkov closed 4 years ago

Explore the census.gov database to retrieve the population estimate for Florida for individual ages (e.g. 13, 14, etc), not just the age groups (e.g. 10 -14).

Make sure that the data still contains the breakdown by:

Create a script ./manipulation/1-greeter-population-3.R that output the product into ./data-unshared/derived/1-greeter-population-3.rds

@andkov I have been looking for days for this kind of data and just can't find it. Every data set I find is binned in the 5 year age groups. While FLHealthcharts sort of has it, its just the 5 year groups divided by 5, which is clearly not accurate!

@mmmmtoasty19, I have reached out to @wibeasley , who might be able to help us: he says he did see such data at some point in the past. Watch out for his contributions to the master branch.

@mmmmtoasty19 , see https://wonder.cdc.gov/ specifically, https://wonder.cdc.gov/bridged-race-population.html. It has the data we need.
